When your sad,what do you try to do to make yourself feel better?

I like to pick up my guitar, write poetry, or just cuddle with my cat.

I try to listen to the music or sometimes think over positively in order to feel good.

I remember the old days and all the things I went through. My life is far from perfect but it is a good life .

My own child expressed it best................just "get in " your feelings.......they are what makes you alive.

Ikura sushi - but now live in AZ so have to settle for toasted bagel and lox. ( yeah I know - food to fill an empty spot = fat one).

Alya, I think sometimes people who know us best can see through the fake smile and sense something is not okay with us, but they don't want to intrude but wish they knew how to help...We are never alone. I think we all have a well or deep recess inside us and sometimes we feel down or sad for a good reason. I try to express it in words through my poetry.

I try to make sense of the thing and try to understand it better. I may not find answers. But I usually end up seeing more of the bigger picture.

Writing poetry makes me...um think. LOL. I should have said that in the first place.

^_^It's not always possible to fix the thing, whatever it is. But telling someone can help. Tell a good friend.

Hope someone hugs you today. :).

Here's what I do (not in any specific order)I walk, eat, sleep, play with my dog, cuddle with my wife, cook, fix something broken at home, clean the house.

I watched my favourite collection of youtube videos to chill me out and cheer me up.

I do either of these:1. Eat my favorite ice cream;2. Take a walk;3.

Listen to my favorite music and sing along;4. Watch my favorite movie;5. Dance;6.

Share quality time with my friends and family;7. If the above list does not work, I cry.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
