Nothing really fixes anything, it's just trying to get your mind somewhere else. Shouldn't always be a trap in the end. For once I'd like to see love through so it's not this sort of ai drawn up picture book of happy wishes and unreachable memories in my head. I want tangible solid love. there's no way around that need. But as far as a mind vacation spot I will say making music is something I'm really trying at and it helps the most. I feel some peace when singing and forming something new. Its sort of tangible. It's love making and feeling being put out and reciprocated in a way that I can work with and that's why I think its a great place to be. But you seem to be looking for more extreme antics, which I mean sounds exciting, I get that. Moments like that, do help you think different. You know what I think of you. You know what I hope for you. You have to know how damn dope you are. Not sure how to pep talk a goddess ya know? Maybe try kick boxing or just boxing? Spar with a guy there and put whoever's face on his face and just pumble the dude to a pulp.

Writing or doing research (reading) about various things takes my mind off off whatever has me down. Even reading fiction or watching movies can help me to escape into another world.

Nature also calms me.

When things look gloomy, observing nature brings me peace. For me, it's like a form of meditation. Sitting on the ground, watching puffy, white clouds in a brilliant blue sky. Watching the movement of water in a babbling brook and listening to the musical sound. The ocean. Waterfalls. Forests. Admiring the colors and textures of landscapes. Breathing the air and the sweet smells. Feeling the sun and the breeze. Sitting on the grass and observing the various bugs purposely bumbling among the blades on their errands of discovery. Noticing the wide diversity of ground covering plants and tiny flowers that grow among the grasses. Getting close to a flowering bush and watching the bees and pollinators busily and, I think, happily going from flower to flower. Watching and listening to birds. Catching glimpses of lizards and other creatures. Observing the contrast and diversity of plants from mosses, to flowers to trees. Every living thing moves with purpose at its own designated pace. Yet they are content, unconscious of the passage of time or the weight of the world. They are 100% in the moment. They don't worry, they just do.

To be alive and have the opportunity to experience creation with all my senses fills me with gratitude, awe and wonder.

When I ponder these things my worries slip away for the moment. I think, "What's the worst that could happen?" Things will turn out as they will.

When I'm feeling down, I like to work on my novels. Usually when I'm down though, if I have a character that is going through something, I'll go back and work on that section and put my feeling into that character. It just works.

I was once depressed for two weeks and wrote a novel about a guy and a girl both struggling from depression, and they both die, and come back to earth, and end up helping each other through their problems. When I'm down, I seem to write better emotinal scenes.

Comedy definitely helps. I like to spend time with animals because my sister’s dog had reasons to be a depressed animal and that good all just seemed to live unapologetically lol he just loved being outside and all sorts of things. I learned that- that… I don't know, that blissful ness and willingness to just enjoy life. Enjoy it because for what we all know. This one is here for a moment and gone the next, and we don’t know if we get doubles or so.

I like to look at animals, interact with them whenever I can, and I like being outside in good weather. Walking is the therapeutic version of running away from problems lol because why should any of us have to stay in our problems? A lot of it is society-dealt anyways, so it’s nice to step into a different world sometimes. Like we have our own Narnia lol literally, and that’s great tbh. 😁

Venting to friends online or writing about it here or so XD Or I just watch music videos play games and watch other stuff. If it's abig problem then I try and organize myself so I can deal with the prolem as soon as possible so I can relax again. If it's something bad distractions usually don't help then I talk to people and try and figure out what to do.

When I’m feeling down, I just kick myself out of it by doing things that I enjoy! Shopping 🛍️!!! Going to Starbucks to grab my fave latte and bakery item and go to the bookstore and look at stationary. Or get myself pampered and remind myself how blessed I am. Or take long walks and drown out the outside with my fave music. I feel so much better already! And ofc call my parents or my girl friends! They always know what to say to cheer me up. Crying helps

Well I would say listening music but I see it's not doing much for you. Then maybe going on a long ride on my bike or cycle on an empty road with me and my thoughts.

Can't go wrong with a nice long walk in the park, grab your earbuds and listen to some jams, wave and smile at the people on the trail. Always makes me feel better plus the scale is happier too!
