What do you do when you're depressed?

[Sigurd]

You're feeling down, depressed, or just generally miserable... how do you cheer yourself up? Or is there a special person/thing that cheers you up in particular?

 

[Jonaldo]

Just live with it... for the last few years..

 

[Sarum TheBlack]

Usually I play DAoC or retreat in some other way into cyberspace. If I don't feel like doing that, I read a good book.

Don't often get "down" tho, I'm a fairly upbeat optimistic type really.

 

[old.Xarr]

i hear chocolate does good (may be some girl phenomena)...

i myself do pretty much what sarum said.

 

[Garnet]

go out drinking with friends and sleeping

 

[Tasans]

I rarely feel depressed or miserable, so i wouldnt know

 

[old.Kram]

I listen to this:

armin van buuren - a state of trance (part 1) (idt radio) 01-16-2003

 

[Belsameth]

it varies really.
just staring into nothing with some music might work,
or go on a flaming streak here or on IRC (the first part might actually make you think I'm always depressed )
failing those, I'll just drown myself in a game...

 

[old.Gombur Glodson]

drown myself in selfpity, talk about it with friends, find some music, just sulk or try to do something else.

 

[old.TeaSpoon]

Hmmm...

Eat.

Go into hiding till I feel better.

 

[baphomet]

Have a shag, if my fiancee isn't around, then have a wank...

Depends of day really... if it saturday or so i go out and get drunk... monday-thursday i talk it over with my friends and then go do some heavy training... gym or taekwondo... cant remember any time i was depressed after sparring

 

[The Fonz]

I like to cut myself with a razor blade.

 

[Testin da Cable]

when I'm depressed I tend to torture humans. or listen to music. or go out and have a good time. or do poota stuff. or play games.
tbh, I don't really behave differently when I'm depressed or when I'm not.

 

[Gef]

Prozac and Gin

 

[Xtro]

NOT read these forums.

 

[old.Tohtori]

Beat my wife, kick my dog, jump right off from a tree.

Take a bat, destroy some cars, their my neighbors cars you see.

Kick my wife in the seater, and then have the bitch make some tea.

There's nothing quite so relaxing, it sends me right to tranquility.

When i'm depressed i like to kick some ass, destroy things and wait it to pass.

 

[Devenport]

I go out, play chess with my mates aswell as couple of rounds of pool and get pissed. It usually gets my mind off the things that are bothering me.

Tho I do those things even when I'm not feeling miserable too.

Oh and when I'm really feeling miserable (as in "woe with me"), I stay home and listen to my album collections. Actually I've got myself a playlist for being down and it includes various tunes by (among others) My Dying Bride, Wumpscut, Covenant, Assemblage 23, Argine, Kotiteollisuus, etc.

But that's just me.

 

[Xtro]

I take it you don't DJ at kids parties then Davenport?

 

[Sloth]

Spank the monkey

 

[Devenport]

Only if they'd have Asia Carrera sripping there.

 

[cear]

A cure to depression ,
Hit a bong , its bound to sort ya out

 

[Tenko]

Sought out what evers getting me so depressed in the first place. Wierd what solving your problems actually does for your state of mind.

Or if I can't be arsed I do what Baphomet does

 

[Spinky]

Last time i was depressed i decided to kill myself by swallowing a few hundred Prozac

Didn't though, after the first two i felt a whole lot better

 

[Sharma]

umm i play DAoC, which is pretty much all i do, says a lot about me huh?
