What do you do to cheer up when you're feeling really sh*tty on a given day, like you want to die?

[MCheetah]

You get some permanent, really bad news and are super-depressed. Like you find out you have cancer, or a loved one suddenly just died, or you just got fired from your dream job, or something. What do you on a day like this to cheer up?

Sounds like my whole week is going to be pretty "feels bad, man." At least I still have a job, though.

[ChiTown33]

I'm pretty even keeled. Not much gets me down. But I try to stay this way because some of the bad news you listed like a cancer diagnosis or losing a loved one would knock me off my feet. I wouldn't cheer up. I'd have to comes to terms with it. Then I would have to accept this is the new reality. And then life goes on. And over time I would just be better about it. Because it would be the new normal.

I hope whatever you're dealing with isn't either of those two things man.

[MCheetah]

I've been trying accept this "new reality" for a long time, now. It leaves little left to look forward to, if anything at all.

[ChiTown33]

I understand man. I love playing basketball. I used to play almost everyday. Last year I broke both feet and after surgery my feet still aren't the same. I really don't think they're going to be the same again. Without shoes I even walk a little funny. It sucks! But that's my new reality. And life goes on.
As I said man. I hope whatever you're dealing with is surmountable. You got a lot of strength in you man. Keep fighting!

[MCheetah]

Thank you. Sorry to hear that about the basketball.

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Play video games, take a shower and clean my room up as much as possible. Eat healthy or unhealthy depending on mood.

[MCheetah]

I can't even play video games either, cause Steam is f*cking up on me, for some reason. Even after re-installing it.

[ShadezMcgee]

I think I just spend the day alone to process the level of bad news and end up playing a video game or listening to music. Doing a hobby to cope with the bad news.

[pers0n]

What I do? Detrimental and something to recommend to others. But I try to make myself stop caring. If there is nothing you care about, there is nothing you can be disappointed in.

[pers0n]

I do not recommend it to other*

Instead people focus on something they do care about. Maybe that's the same shit. I focus on what I fare about. Which is not much. This world is weird anyway.

[KlinkyCoder]

Do you feel like this a lot because you know we are living in a dystopia?

[MCheetah]

I never forget that we're living in a Dystopia, but regardless of that, no, I don't tend to always feel this way.

[KlinkyCoder]

I would give an arm to have had the opportunity to grow up in the 60s and 70s, that was one of the last eras where life in the USA and the West in general was pretty great, even though it wasn't perfect nor do I expect that.

[MCheetah]

Post-9/11 is when America started being divided, 2015 is when woke culture came into play and he mainstream media started outright LYING to people, and 2020 during COVID, is when everything truly became Orwellian, despite the US being one of the lesser affected countries; Canada, England, and Australia got it way worse during government COVID tyranny.

I'm in South Korea right now, and although it's not a perfect country by any stretch of the imagination, I am grateful to be here and I respect this place.

[KlinkyCoder]

South Korea has the lowest birth rate of all the countries. Even though all this woke stuff had it's roots in the 1950s and 1960s.

[MCheetah]

Actually, Monaco is lower, and Japan isn't too far behind.

And while that may be accurate enough, living here, I'd say that's not accurate to the population. I'm a teacher and I see families all the time. Way more married couples and kids than I ever saw in the US.

[RealMarek]

I had some experiences like that. I would take my tent, go somewhere nice, and spend a night or two camping.

[exitseven]

I dont do anything. I channel all the rage into getting myself out of the mess.

Watch some good series TV show.
