Do the opposite, get high.

60s music. Just can't help dancing.

i call one of my friends and get together for a glass of wine/ lunch/dinner, or just hang out with my cats, pet therapy is good!

If I'm feeling low because of stress I like to journal and try to put it into perspective. It seems to help me quite a bit but if I'm just feeling low then I like to listen to podcast or music to modified my mood. If it's nice out I like to spend some time outdoors.

Float! Sensory deprivation is a great way to center yourself.

Find the punchline to whatever is making me miserable so I can at least get a laugh out of it

I make YouTube videos and troll the internet.

I write.

Music! Loud obnoxious music.

Therapy. I love my therapist. But generally practicing mindfulness. Diaphragmatic breathing is great. And cake but I'm trying to back off from the cake.

Yes, mindfulness is good.

I jump/dive into the water.

Call a friend or family member.

Music or write to get it off my mind.

Allow myself to feel what I'm feeling ... it's validity. I realize it's a point in time and there are peaks and valleys in life. It will pass and it will be a point of reference from which to learn. I allow myself to be introspective of its source.

Lows are shitty. Sometimes you can't will yourself out of bed. Sometimes I use the love I have for friends and family to coax me up to do something nice for them. Eventhough its not a cure-all it has the chance of making me feel better if not good about myself. I take it small victories at a time, building myself up.

Last week we had a day that was warm enough for me to get one of the bikes out. And I was lucky enough to get off work well before it became dark. After about an hours ride, I haven't felt that good in quite a while. Outside of an orgasm anyways.

Try to make contact with positive people, read a funny comic or bang some tunes on.

I realize that it will pass and go on with my day. And you know what? It passes.

Usually I listen to music, or call or chat with a friend. Having a good friend lend an ear can help me a lot 🙂

As John Prine sang, "You may see me tonight with an Illegal Smile . . ."

Perform menial tasks that require little to no thinking whatsoever like doing the dishes, cleaning, organising paperwork, gardening, etc.

By the time I finish I feel relieved since I have completed a task which gives me a tiny tiny bit of satisfaction.

Or just play videogames/watch TV. Whatever suits you.

If there's time, I'll take a road trip somewhere. Maybe I'll hit a local coffee shop just to hang out and be around other people for a while.
