A good film I love like The Princess Bride, or Field of Dreams or anything funny.

Ice cream, Haagen Daas Rasberry Panna Cotta being my favourite of choice at the moment.

A long bath with a good book and some nice smelly bubblebath - course this option is a tad girlie so might not suit you :)

A really good whinge to my best friend about everything that's gone or is going wrong.

A cup of tea and some jaffa cakes.

"It's A Wonderful Life" starring James Stewart. Guaranteed to work. :D

Failing that watch the dvd of Villa's European Cup win. Well that works for me. :p

Music for me, or a decent RPG to lose my self in, would say friends but most of the time its me doing the listening not the telling :p, i just chill with music and think of other things, or just lie with the other half, normally stops me thinking of bad things :p

you could borrow my Ez or Outie xD they usually do the job
also, dont think ice cream really cheers people up just lets them wallow in self misery for longer, same as music, as if you're in a crappy mood, generally listen to soppy songs or something depressing (in my case for e.g. semisonic- secret smile)
also theres porn, comedy films etc

I look up Ezteq's video's she posted :)
On a serious note tho bud, not sure how down you are, so if you just feeling a little down, stella atois helps.
But if your really down you need to talk to someone and not bottle it up in any way and no drinking as alcohol is a depressant.
Hope you feel a little happier soon mate :fluffle:
Watching Jeremy Kyle on tv works a treat too........I soon realise my life is pretty cool after watching some of the chavs and low-life people he bollocks on the program :)

Anything involving exercise, which will allow you to work out any frustration, as well as releasing chemicals into the body to make you feel better.

Food, drink etc... work short term, but can have an oposite effect over the longer term and end up making you feel worse.

Go and play footy in the park with a friend, or go for a walk with some headphones or as an extreem, decorate a room.

Just my advice, but might not be good for everyone ;)

When I am down I try to destract myself. Anything goes there... going out for a walk (I ended up doing 10 km's and more and taking a bus home.), reading a book, calling a friend and just talking stuff...

I also allow myself stuff I usaly dont... try eating icecream while taking a hot bath. :) Or I cook myself a nice meal. (Works for distraction too.)

Getting drunk is actually a silly idea, if you're talking about drinking on your own at home! Alchohol is a depressant, not a stimulant.

I'd suggest doing something active - go for a run with your iPod.

Kinda feeling down lately myself! Not easy breaking up with you're GF because you're in love with her best friend, and you know she likes you too! But it is just plain wrong, to dump a GF then get together with her best friend! :(

I always find a few pints in the local with my closest friends does the trick for me.
