What do you do when you feel fed up or depressed?

Recommended Posts

This is not good advice so please don't listen to me but I drink myself into oblivion every night.

Go for a walk or watch a good comedy. Always helps to clear my mind. Nothing worse than trying to 'solve' it with a head full of thoughts so just ride out whatever you are feeling and know that you are not alone in feeling that way.

Sometimes I get out of the house and go shopping - retail therapy. I might not buy anything but it makes me feel better just to go out. Other times I get involved in doing something I love doing so that I concentrate so hard on that thing that negative thoughts can't come into my head. Negative thoughts create negative mood.....not good.

What do you do when you feel down?

Some great advice here. For me, I find running to be a massive mood booster. Also a big fan of dancing (salsa) as well as Yoga, Meditation, and Tai Chi - to calm the mind and reconnect with the body and heart.

Exercise has been mentioned a few times here. I can honestly say it has never made me feel worse. Even if it is just a walk around the block, it`s worth it.

Cake my face in make up and wear my best clothes to walk round Meadow hall for a day out.

Depends on what is causing it. If i'm fed up and frustrated, I make bread or bake a cake - lots of kneading or beating helps me get the stress out on something that will cheer me up with awesome flavour when I have finished.

 

If I'm just on a downer, I try to read or go out for some exercise

I talk to a good friend about it, bouncing my worries off someone else helps me see a way forward. Go for a walk in a park or out in the peaks. Write down your worries too, set down a 10 mins period each day, be strict set your limits and a time to do it. Write them down, write down anything you can do then make a list of what steps you can take.

Listen to what is causing other people to be ''fed up.''

It helps,......... to share problems.

...............

When I can feel my depression bubbling up I go and talk to my doctor and my counsellor.

 

That option has always been the one I would have liked to have had in my box of remedies. I always understood that it the type of help that cannot be accessed at the time of need- that you cannot just call on as & when needed without a wait. How do you get around that, I’m interested?
