When you're really down, how do you 'snap out of it'??

For me it'd be walking my dog. Always makes me feel better. Or looking in the mirror and liking what I see (sometimes)

EDIT: How could I forget MUSIC! Esp. grunge/alt. rock

changing my environment, go out for a walk. i've recently started excercising and that's helped.

also pampering myself, taking a shower, redoing nail polish, dying my hair, etc.

going shopping, spending a little money

Exercise usually does it for me. Upbeat music - watching something funny on t.v can help.

-listening to some uplifting music
-exercise ( which I never do cause I am too lazy )
-food (junk and mostly unhealthy)
-TV, which I turn to most of the time. It makes me feel good by making me forget my problems.

Lucidity, I think you need to face your problems! Else they will get worse. I was addicted to TV for the longest time, I was watching for like 8 hours a day at one point, then one day I went a whole day without watching tv at all and it was great. I managed to do a hell of a lot more than I normally would, and felt much better in myself. Now I hardly watch any TV, and it is a much better life trust me. TV eats your life. Then later you'll wonder where all the time went

Oh yeah, ditch the junk food, thats gonna make you feel worse!! Eating healthy gives you more energy to do stuff =]

I totally agree with you stardog. TV does eat my life. I've been addicted to television for many years now. It has ruined my life more than the SA. Which is funny cause the SA is probably the reason I watch TV.
If I didn't have TV to help me through all these years I would have probably gone mad or died of loneliness.
TV is a distraction. It numbs my pain. TV is my drug of choise. But I am positive about beating this habit.

Try testing yourself by hiding the remote and sticking to a 2 week plan of no television. Then slowly bring it back by only watching say a favourite DVD which is what i do now.

Every now and then i can just watch a favourite movie or comedy and then go back to doing some homework or reading, exercising.

Its important to exercise. Sometimes we feel immortal until we realise we have gone to far without acting. But its never too late to start.

What makes me feel better when I feel really down ?

Let's see, I get depressed because of the lonliness and the haunting thoughts that nobody likes me and rejects me cause i'm a freak and i'll never get a social life, so to get over this I need somebody to proove me wrong.

This is where online friends comes in handy, I have a few girls who are constantly in a good mood and they can be very contagious ....if I find them online. One happy person can make your day, belive me :wink:

If not, I lock myself in my room and start crying my eyes out to let it all out , and that helps a bit.

TV, music, internet, games, taking a walk and all that doesn't help me

Writing a song..and recording it.. definately.. better than any medicine the Dr. has prescribed.
unfortunately I can't do that 24hrs a day.. and it makes me reclusive..but it feels good..

Hmmm, feeling better, this is such a fine art. Well, walking in the rain, being drunk, watch children play, some child smiles and gives me thumbs up all out random, pictures of dead people, eating chocolate.
Talking about those last two, well remembered.

reading stuff like this:

Code:

We should be more like the man who was
asked if he could play the piano. 
"I don't know," he said.
"What do you mean you don't know?" 
"I have never tried."

Sometimes by just just getting something done....whether its paying a bill or buying something. Doesnt always work, of course, but on occasion it does give me a little boost of confidence.

Making other people laugh or smile works well too....although, i have to be in a good mood in the first place to even attempt that, so maybe that doesent count
