What cheers you up when you're sad?

Question

davewatkins · Accepted Answer

Thinking about my dad who I just lost my right to see, manage his health, and my right to everything that he owned. His ex-wife took everything and sold it all. And told the courts not to let me see him so she could keep the money. He's had two strokes and barely remember anything. I have a packet of pictures I need to take to him. I cannot. Take them to him. So he can. Remember. Me. Oh sorry what I think about when I'm sad... Oh sorry! I think about my funny dog great Pyrenees he was 8 years old when his ex wife stole him and brought him to a rescue center 300 miles away and legally deactivated his fucking chip. 8 fucking years. The woman who calls herself my mother hasn't cared a bit about any of this. My whole family is dead to me. Go fuck your selves if you think you know pain.

Greatly depends what is making me sad or down.

often just chatting to a friend is enough.

going for a run, mountain biking.

chatting to my daughter helps a lot, especially with home made hot chocolate and marshmallows.

Also likely bizarrely, chatting on here can help as well.

Depends on the source, if I know the cause of it, need to eliminate it or remove myself from it.

Many times just going out for a ride, on a horse or atv and getting out into nature helps my mind to focus on other things and to be more at peace.

Music, absolutely anything funny, it can be a manga or standup comedy.  Or if nothing's working I try my best to distract myself as I believe, what we think is what we feel..

I love eating cheesecake or ice cream while watching either a comedy skit or a cute movie. It also depends on why I'm sad. If I got a bad score on an exam I treat myself to some sweets and a bubble bath.

It's different for everyone but for me it's to just think about the people I care about. I think about the fun memories we had and I plan about what we should do together. Another thing is doing things that can make me relax, like watching my favorite show, eating my favorite food, listening to my favorite songs and etc...
