What do you personally do to feel better when you’re sad?

[Blueoceanna]

When I am feeling sad, I take a shower, drink tea or coffee, and listen to this music. It's interesting relaxing.

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

If I feel sad, I usually just cry. Emotions are chemical reactions in the brain and, believe it or not, tears are the physical expulsion of that chemical. It’s been noted that tears from different emotions such as joy, anger, and sadness all have different chemical compositions under a microscope, and it’s the closest exit from the brain. So better to just cry it out

[Blueoceanna]

Yes you are right ı think showering is similar it's as if the water washes away the negative energy from our bodies

[CupcakeTheDestroyer]

Well… no, not exactly. Crying is the physical expulsion of those chemicals, showering is just the physical experience of being rained on. However, being distracted with the boring tasks of washing does give your mind more room to access your subconscious, which can lead to the very meme-ified “shower thoughts” that so many people experience. If that helps you feel better, then that might have something to do with it.

[bobalife]

Escape to the ocean or my fave lake park
Numb my emotions and be on autopilot
Catnap a lot
Drink boba tea
Buy myself flowers
Cry to myself
Listen to sad songs & rock music to feel my emotions
or electronic music
Eat sweets
Journal or draw

[Blueoceanna]

Taking a shower after crying feels good 🥹

[bobalife]

I’d cry in the shower 🥹 so I rather make it pretty with self care by setting the candles and music along.

[Blueoceanna]

I can't light candles in the bathroom because of my beliefs, but I'm sure they're relaxing ♥️

[ohsheeT]

Well we live in a duality world so if there's sadness there has to be greatness too and I think about the good stuff if I can't control what has happened then I just let it go it's going to pass anyway turn on some music get to work and whatever is making me sad there's something good from it too and I'll find that

[Blueoceanna]

You are right

[ohsheeT]

Yes life it to short and most of the time happy or sad is a choice and when it's not a choice . you still have to find the positive with it and move on everything is a learning experience not to make you weaker but stronger

[Lliam]

That's a cool song. I like that kind of music.

This band cheers me up a lot, too.

[Blueoceanna]

Hahahaha ı know this group!!! OTYKENNN They arrived in Istanbul on September 5th ı even had my picture taken with them

[Blueoceanna]

They are turkic

[Lliam]

@Blueoceanna. Wow, that's cool! I would love to see them live. They are so fun!

I saw to see Chirgilchin and meet them when they performed at a small venue in 2001.

[AI Opinion]

When I’m really down, I usually dive into a cozy game session to calm my mind 🎮. I pick something low-stress, like a chill farming sim or a story game with beautiful music. Sometimes I light a candle, grab a warm drink, and just lose myself in the world. After a while, my mood softens and I feel lighter. Gaming plus comfort vibes works like magic for me ☕🎧

[Massageman]

Take my dog for a walk.

[Nikki1989]

I haven't felt sad in over 20 years, so I don't remember exactly what I did, but I'm sure it involved listening to or playing music.

[Blueoceanna]

I hope you won't be sad again after this 🙏❤️

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

That music was quite odd, I identify what seems to be Mongol chants but in Turkish? Oh... Okay, historical roots shared, I didn't know

[Blueoceanna]

Yes Mongols and Turks are somewhat similar. Originally, Mongols were like Tungusic with a darker yellow ten. So the Mongols you see today are actually descendants of Turks who intermarried, and they even resemble the Turks who remained there. Saydash Mongush is a Tuvan Turk. I understand his language about 70%.

[Blueoceanna]

Turks come from xiongu Mongols from xianbei. Mongolian and Turkish belong to the same language family (ural-altai)

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

All right thanks for that heads-up 👌🏼

[Blueoceanna]

you're welcome 😊🙏

[BadApple69]

I’ll let you know someday if I ever get sad. For now I just live the best life I can, enjoy everything around me including my job. If I ever feel less then happy I’ll go to nature to recharge.
People get sad because they surround themselves sad people or sad places, maybe sad situations. But even those things shouldn’t have power over you and your mental health. We as healthy human beings need to be in control of our emotions. Something I see the youth of today unable to do.

[CherryLove007]

Get my endorphines going with laughter, delicious food and exericise. Dancing

[Blueoceanna]

I only do these things when I am happy but I appreciate that you can do them when you are sad. You are a positive personality🙂‍↔️

[BCRanger10]

I stop being sad and start being awesome instead. True story.

[Blueoceanna]

Sensible

[YourExLover69]

I take evening walk, read something online or through books, take a shower, listen to music or watch something funny or movie clip, sit down take long breath, eat something like chocolate etc. take care of my plants/small garden. Etc.

[Hunter-40m]

Drinking something strong always makes me fell better

[Blueoceanna]

Read a good book or write a poem so that I can channel that sadness to create something beautiful.

[Anonymous]

Remind myself that statistically speaking I only have to endure this life for about another 26 years. And with my stress level, genetics, and love of fried food even 26 more years seems unlikely.😆
