What makes you feel better?

When you just feel a bit glum and need cheering up.

I've woke up in a foul mood today and just find the littlest (sp?!) thing is getting on my wick. So I had a cup of Tea, 2 WW choc-chip cookies and have put the Juno soundtrack on and I feel marginally better.

What simple things can help, even if just a smidge?

    Yeah, baking is definitely a good one. I'm making a birthday cake for my niece-who-isn't-really-my-niece at the mo and it's lifted me a little out of a real grump. I feel all useful and Nigella-ish :)

    My other guaranteed smile-cracker is You've Been Framed. I know it's childish, but I fucking love it :heart: What's not funny about people falling over?

    Ah yes, I like YBF! too. The animal and children clips can't be fixed, so I find those great. The sports ones can be great too, especially clips on motorcycle racing!

    If I feel down, like it's a Sunday night anticipating another 40 hours of work, then I tend to put on a Disney film from my DVD collection. Each to their own, but personally, I haven't really moved away from childrens/action stuff and I'm now 30 :-)

    My favourites are the babies cause they get so shocked by simple stuff. Plus, yeah, you know they're not set up. Unless people have genius infants.

    But they also come tinged with sadness cause I want one and I can't have one :(

    spunking a load of money on something makes me feel better.

    Reading/thinking something funny, playing a game, sometimes just a walk. Buying stuff works too.

    hugs, calling JsT, screaming alanis morrisette songs, chocolate, bottle of wine, ju jitsu, ice cream, masturbation, watching jack and sarah or you've got mail, breaking shit, making something, writing songs and actually getting paid for them, finding holes in socialism and pointing them out to the SWSS (socialist workers student society), going and seeing the halls of residence kittens...

    i still kinda feel shit tonight though....

    I'm sorry to hear that, although by coincidence, I'm not able to either.

    I actually only meant in the short term! Although long term worries me too. If all else fails I'll become a cat lady. Sod hubster and his allergies!

    I agree on the food and buying stuff. Random crap on ebay I find especially theraputic! Spicy food is also good for endorphines. Even though it's a pain, I find tidying up is good too - I think it's more the end product that makes me happy! (OCD?)
