How do you cheer yourself up when you're feeling blue?

[Longhaul 6,863]

I usually pull up some videos that I like and watch those for a while.

I usually listen to some music or talk to some friends here, it cheers me right me back up.

This depends on who is online at the time. 

 

Besides my Besties @Treeglow Flicker  & @Lucky Bells I also talk to my Besties @ExplosionMare & @Silky the smol when I'm sad.

My presence in the nighttime sky is doing this for me

It used to be my absolute best friend in the world was able to cheer me up.. but circumstances have changed and now I must find something else. I just hope I won't ever lose that special bond despite our newfound distance. I have to find my way back.

If I'm feeling sad on MLP Forums I talk to my Bestie @Silky the smol or I make something that I hope will make someone laugh.

I cheer up when I play video games and pretend it's me in the game and I'm doing all I can to get through the situation the game finds itself in. 

Basically like role-playing but by yourself and you gotta think what you would do given the powers/abilities in that situation. 

Long story short, it takes my mind off from feeling blue.

It depends on why I’m upset. If it’s a life thing I talk to my friend but if I usaly watch something funny or sometimes a song. If it’s a medical thing I talk to my family and my friend. I have 2 rl friends and my mom dad

i don't feel 'blue' anymore. it's always either anger over a slight done to me, or a calm acceptance over certain states of affairs.

virtually all of the sadness in my life arose from whichever preconceived notions i had about the world. of course, when those expectations were inevitably shattered, i would sink into a depression. all of which to say, my naivete was my greatest nemesis.

having said that, i try to distract myself with games. failing that, i try to sleep it off. the problem usually blows over anyway.

I put on a cardboard crusader helmet and a sheet, then I take a wooden sword and shield, turn on the song "Heilung | LIFA - Alfadhirhaiti LIVE" rewind the video for 3 minutes and walk around the room waving the sword. I can include another song for example: "SKÁLD - Ó Valhalla", "SKÁLD - Ódinn", "The HU - Wolf Totem".

Nah I have a real master sword and Hylian shield . They both have weight to them, so swinging them outside is a good warm up

I don't do anything. Eventually it passes

I usually let it sink in to the core and reflect on it. Drowning myself with music. I find my comforting better that way rather trying to do something or have someone “cheer me up”. Honestly when people do that, it  would actually make it worst for me.
