What makes you feel better when you are down...

It's no news that we capricorns fall victim to the occassional or frequent bout of sadness. Whatever the reason(s) may be.

So what do you do to help make yourself feel better?
Have you come up with a successful recipe to pull yourself out of the funk?

I guess I'm sort of in one of those moods. Bah. I suppose it's my own fault too. *grumble*
The things that make me feel better are working really. Making progess at any of the projects/work I do. Typical maybe. Also doing nice things for others makes me feel good. Cleaning anything and everything always makes me feel better. Talking to a loved one if I can manage to keep my side of the conversation positive. Generally I try to keep my mind busy on positive things. Whatever line up of projects I can give myself seems to make an otherwise unstable time a little bit smoother. Last thing I do is keep reminding myself that I'll feel better soon enough. Like a cold, some emotion has to run it's course. And I'm better off making things right, if righting needs doing, when my head is screwed on straight.

and yes, reminding yourself that you will feel much better sooner than you think you would. tomorrow is always better. what didn't work out simply means it's not meant to be. how exciting that you are one step closer to what means to be right 🙂. have faith 🙂.

This is my philosophy on bad days. "This too shall pass" and all that. It always does and there are always happier days. It never seems so at the time, and sometimes it's hard to believe it, but the more you say this to yourself the more you realise how true it is. Sunshine and good times are around the corner. (so is the rain, but we'd be bored if life was all rainbows and butterflies...).

Sometimes it is so hard to get yourself out of these moods cuz you dont really know why you are feeling blue. I avoid the blues by staying positive. Having people you like around is a good way to get your mind off things.

I don't like being around people when I'm feeling blue. I just want to be alone and be left to chill into a semi content misery. I guess I feel blue mainly if I get stressed out by too much crap and too many people wanting stuff from me at the same time as I have other obligations etc, or people trying to control me or guilt trip me.

But I agree with you capgal that staying positive is a way of avoiding the blues. It is something that you allow yourself to drift into and once youre in that blue mood it's much harder to get out. It's a lot easier to deal with difficulties if you are positive and confident.

Can you say that the stress at work or stress in general affects your sex life?

Achieving goals like losing weight, finishing a project, competitive sports, running/walking some certain miles etc. Sometimes however that doesn't work either. I just came to the self realization that I will never be happy. So might as well be reckless. Also I have seen the more reckless I am, the more I get done and the more I tend to give the world.

I need to learn forgiveness. Of myself and of others.

Love it... I too have noticed lately that the more I allow myself to lose grip on some things, the more I can do for friends and loved ones.

Nice! Another Cap sun Pisces moon combo! A warm welcome to you Elvis 🙂 🙂

Back to topic.

Yea when I'm in a mood it usually starts with a strong urge to toss my phone in the toilet... to avoid evvvuuurrryyyyone... initially. Fortunately I quickly get over that feeling.

In short, it seems the answer for me is momentum and time. As long as I can keep momentum up or create it in other areas, then I'm good. And as the saying goes... time heals all things.

Started this thread just a few days ago... already forgot I was ever down. Phew

welcome ESW 🙂.


how could you do what i did (drinking when heart hurting)—!!!


NO DRINK FOR YOU. BE GOOD.


lol 😉

Drinking during heartache is gauranteeeeed to make me cry. Last time I did that, I was in an airplane with my brother flying to my parents in AZ. We kinda got tipsy and I started crying because I was having issues with lame flavor of the moment. HAHAHAHA! Not cool at the time, but looking back at it, it's pretty funny. I went from hysterics with the bro to crying in my hands in mere seconds. LOL

to feel better whisky and two bisexual women

take really ridiculous pictures of yourself... something very therapeutic about looking at yourself looking like an ass.

sunshine, beach, book, and good music.
