What makes you happy when your sad?

[JupiterBase]

I wanna know what do you do to feel happier? when lifes got you down do you get drunk? do you get angry and take it out on others? Is easy for you to simply eat your favorite food or listen to a favorite song? why does this help? do you even know?

Ive been depressed lately so ive been trying to forget usualy by getting lost in a video game or (Realy immersive RPG or just games that are hard)or book or movie but works best other then turning to a friend is usauly listening to music that is about what ever im feeling or the problem at hand. My favorite song to listen do when im down is this one http://www.playlist.com/searchbeta/tracks#andrew%20jackson%20jihad (Rejoice is the song im talking about" Its about how shitty the world is for some people it might be depressing but it actualy makes me feel better.

Honestly, I have no idea. I go from depressed to cheerful and back about 5 times a day. I'm less bipolar when I have someone to talk to.

 

[Gxas]

I listen to emo. Jimmy Eat World and Angels and Airwaves really calm me down.

 

[BeastofShadow]

I listen to Korpiklaani. Just insane and accordions are happy sounding.

 

[driveBYargument]

I keep going. Really I just think to myself that if I have time to mope around and feel bad I have plenty of time to seize the moment and strike just at whats making me depressed.

My GF
Music
Petting one of my cats or my dog.
Beating the shit out of my punching bag.
Making fun of stupid people/things.
Watching cartoons or other funny programming.
PVPing in-game.

 

[Ekonk]

Waiting, actually. I just cheer up after a while.

Or a few good nights sleep.

 

[Batfred]

Pringles!!

 

[ddon]

Laughing helps. It he makes me forget about what happend that made me depressed. Often makes me look insane though.

All jokes alive, music really does soothe the beast, especially this song.

Going for a drive, usually with loud music.

I drive a white 92 Prelude with a vtec engine over 220HP and a sweet sound system with dual 10s in the trunk.

 

[Cherry Cola]

Playing me some "Yesterday".

Nothing gets you up better than relating to Paul McCartney.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN, PAUL! I FEEL IT!

Coffee. Being full of energy makes me happy (but not optimistic).

 

[Glassesguy904]

Depends on what I'm sad about. Normaly I pet my dog, but if I'm mad at somthing in particular, the Wii's Mii creator thing is highly flexible. An the boxing is somewhat realistic.

I have removed my words from this site.

 

[sky14kemea]

I usually just sleep :/ I mostly feel better when I wake up. If I don't I like to sing, that always cheers me up, even if it does sound like I'm strangling a cat sometimes

Edit: to OP

That song is craaazy xD

 

[Spoony_Nin]

This is gonna sound sad and, well, sad. But, I have to say it's watching either the 'Dinner ladies' or Studio Ghibli's 'Kiki's Delivery service' whilst eating turkey drummers, rice and Uncle Bens sweet and sour sauce. It's terrible, but it never fails to make me smile. That or watching the 2006 Torino Figure Skating legend that is 'The Chinese 'gina Snap.'

 

[Berethond]

Epic choir music makes me happy

Bioware games. They're so good, how can I be sad when I play 'em?

Well, except maybe when a party member dies for real. Then I get sad.
