What do you do to cope with sadness?

Question

sage2021 · Accepted Answer

I cry. I go to sleep. I talk to someone about it. Mostly I am stuck in my own thoughts and I don't like it.
Some people stay busy. I don't. I like to think about it and eventually put it behind me.

It probably depends on what it's about.

When my boyfriend died suddenly 4 months ago I was sad and crying a lot. Now I realize he's not here anymore and there's nothing I can do about it.

I can't focus on reading, so, I plan to write the whole night, to get from my soul everything that happened... I've got a new ink, so tonight it will be a feather pen and nibs for handmade paper...

I can't go for a run because we have rain with snow and then -10C, so everything is covered with thick ice...

It’s pretty much why I’ve been on GAG for 12 years, lmfao. Just have some real sad circumstances in life that I can’t control, so I’m just bumming around here until I can resume my normal life. This is my distraction, I guess.

Get busy... Distract yourself... Change diet, work out... School, work, friends... Drop your phone away, play with dogs or cats

Recent studies launched statistics that say your mood would drastically improve if you stopped dropping your chicken on the floor, if I was you, I'd listen to the experts.

Suffer in silence. I don't want to burden anyone with my problems. I'd probably watch YouTube or some movie or something, or scroll tiktok

Listen to music. Keep myself busy. Try to hangout with friends and family is the biggest help. I never really express my sadness to people, so I always kept within myself. But with time I get over it.
