What do you do to cheer yourself up?
 

We all have those days - days where you just wish the world had one collective face so you could punch it, hard and repeatedly.

When you're feeling sad or angry or just fed-up in general, what do you do to make yourself feel better? What turns your frown upside-down and helps you shrug off whatever's grinding your gears?

The answers can be as silly or as serious as you like! :)

Sleep, play games, listen to music, make music, or just ride somewhere and clear my head.

Sleep would be my first one, too. I have a theory that no matter how bad things are in your life, if you're asleep, at least you can't do anything to screw things up even worse. :lol:

Video games and the gym are good therapy, too, usually.

I tend to wake up at night in the middle of an existential crisis. The only thing that helps me is turning over and kissing my fiancé. That might not sound like me, but it's true.

I also visit my little nephew when I don't feel great. He's super funny and adorable, so he always makes me feel better.

After that, I've got my dawgz. If I just feel unhappy or sorta out of it, especially after a ****** day at work, they always turn it around. No matter what we end up doing together. Playing games, watching dumb movies, talking about ridiculous things at length. Whatever.

Other than seeking comfort from the people I love most I'll do stuff in my game room. It's a more recent pick-me-up, because it has only existed for about a year, and it works great. My mind is very focused in there for whatever reason. Maybe it's just being surrounded by games. Evokes some special feelings inside.

large caramel frappe, with extra caramel. :D

I took up boxing a few years ago, just as a hobby obviously. Helps me refocus.

My kid knows how to boost my spirits...and he's not even aware of it. :P

Talk to friends, listen to music, go out somewhere fun and pretty much anything TMNT helps.

Watching my favorite tv shows (tmnt is always good :D), movies or listen to cheerful music.

Playing with my Dog is one thing that cheers me up.

Also, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin manage to do it as well.

I eat and eat and eat...
That's gonna take it's toll but i'll let future me wory about that, that guy is an asshole anyway...

If I'm in a real funk, nothing really helps. I just have to wait it out.

A wise girl once said:
"I know I will get fat, If I eat chocolate, but I will at least die happily!"
Your future self will be happy :lol:

When everything gets crazy and it seems everyone is ignoring me and looking for excuses to take away my happiness, I listen to the Pink Floyd Division Bell album to feel better.

Same, but I also tend to listen to 'The Wall' as well. 'The Dark Side of the Moon' manages to do it as well for me

Dude, "The Wall" is great but me + bad mood + Pink Floyd = not goodness. When I'm in a funk, "Bad Days" by The Flaming Lips is the only way to go! :D That or the theme song to She-Ra.

Eat ice creamx listen to music, and watch either Frasier, Cheers or The Big Bang Theory.

Whats weird is that 'The Wall' is possibly the most depressing album ever, but somehow it cheers me up:-?

Isn't tha wierd, how when people are down that listen to depresing music...
I always play some irish music or some iron maiden, it helps....

Spending time with my pet turtles always cheers me up.
