:( I’m so sorry, Mr. Gohan—you could binge eat sweets like most females do, but when I’m down, I usually stay alone and drive to all sorts of weird parts of the city. LOL Either that, or I go out with friends and do something bizarre and out of the ordinary to take my mind off of it. Like go to a rodeo bar! =)
I meet up with friends and hang out..go out and have a good time…sometimes I stay in and write my feelings down,,it helps to write it out..and then I burn it..it’s like going to therapy but cheaper 😊
I lived in a cave for a month the last time. Not because I wanted to live in a cave, but because the dorm room i lived in last year was in the basement and it was dark like a cave and I had a month left before school was out.
[quote author=“Jack Handy”]When I was a kid my favorite relative was Uncle Caveman. After school we’d all go play in his cave, and every once in a while he would eat one of us. It wasn’t until later that I found out that Uncle Caveman was a bear.
i usually go exercise. talking to friends about it is always another good outlet. sometimes if things are rough, i’ll just go for a walk, collect my thoughts and such. its good to have some alone time, get everything settled out.
[quote author=“HectorGearLive”][quote author=“gohan_bcc1”]!?!?!?!?
cause my gf just broke up with me and i feel like crap and i need something to do to get it off my mind.
What excuse did she come up with? That ****ing sucks.
yeah man ummm lets see… she said she can stand not being able to see me alot…she doesnt think she is ready for a serious relationship and her mom doesnt think she is old enough for a serious relationship.
I used to walk alot…with headphones, and sing til my voice goes out.
I would walk pretty fast…always trying to keep with the music. For like 3 hours. thinking of everything I was depressed about…singing to kind-of let the anger and depression escape through my lungs. And, then when I’m too pooped to go on, I’d lay down with a good book, if I was able to concentrate. If not, grab friends. It’s the best way to stop thinking of things that you’re upset about.
i’m the type of person that when i’m sad I sort of feed it.. I watch sad movies, listen to sad music and all that stuff.. but that’s terrible and I shouldn’t do that.. watch really funny movies.. talk to friends.. if it’s really getting to you go see your school psychologist (i’m serious they’re awesome).. don’t drink.. that’s just stupid

Alcohol is a depressant, and all it does is make you even *more* sad. I don’t understand the fascination with alcohol, I’ve been drinking it for a while now, and I can purchase it just fine, but please don’t resort to it. It’s just… immature…? At least, that’s how it seems to me. =\ I didn’t purchase alcohol for about two weeks after my 21st birthday—I didn’t even purchase any for my 21st birthday. But that might be ‘cause I was able to drink it in Europe since I was 18…? I dunno… the glamour with alcohol has faded for me already 😛 Though it is still fun at times, hehe
And as far as feeding the depression, Ms. Spice, ack!! Don’t do that!! Misery should never flirt with the company of other misery!! It just perpetuates the depression more and more. When I get depressed, I listen to lots of upbeat, fun music to get my mind off of it and in better spirits. Or, I tend to like to be alone and just kinda numb myself—not make myself sadder or ultra-happy. The latter solution is what I do most often.
Andreux i definately agree with you about the whole alcohol thing.. especially if you’re younger. I did a paper on teenage alcohol consumption and I read a bunch of studies on how if you abuse alcohol in order to resolve your problems as a teen you’re much more likely to develop a physchological problem by the age of 25.
and yeah about feeding the depression i know it’s terrible.. but sometimes for me at least.. I like to just watch a sad movie… get the cry out you know.. but when i’m sad the main way i cope with it is to talk about what’s going on with someone.. that helps me a lot.. i usually have a good cry along with that because well.. i cry like it’s my job sometimes haha… but yeah that helps for me.

So watching the sad movies… it’s cathartic, I see… 😉 Yeah, I just wanted to use a big word. Haha =P
And yes!! I understand what you mean about talking about it with someone else, but I usually try to do it with someone that’s not too depressed like I am at the time. Otherwise, we both make ourselves feel miserable. 😛 LOL
I didn’t start drinking until after I turner 21, and for a period of a few years I was the typical college binge drinker. Then I stopped drinking hard liquor and mixed drinks and just had a beer now and then. Now I drink beer pretty frequently - it helps me to relax and I enjoy the taste.
But as for why people drink when they’re sad? It makes you numb. Not a good solution, but it works for millions and millions of people… until they die of liver disease anyway. 😊
