What picks you up when you are down?

[Venomous 18,813]

I turn to funny YouTube videos like fails, reviews of bad movies, commentating on stupid internet things, etc.

[Star_Jasmine 12]

I listen some upbeat music. That always helps me out.

[Magic_Spark 154]

I really do not get down. I usually feel a bit stressed. (For some reason I never get depressed)

When I feel stressed I turn to my horse. She makes anything bad go away. 

Weather its a nice long hug or walks. Just spending time around her makes me feel like new again. 

There is nothing like a good pet to cheer up your day.

Snuggling my Sweetie Belle plushie is the only thing anymore that seems to work. But it works so I roll with it.

Singing and violence usually do the trick for me.

I have pretty bad body dysmorphia and that's what will often get me down (Shallow I know, like not kidding my whole afternoon was once ruined because I ate something more salty then usual and my thigh size was like half a centimetre then it was that morning- I'm able to laugh about it, but still) ANYWAYS what generally makes me  happy is just distracting myself, I love doing traditional calligraphy and that'll typically take a fair chunk of time to do, video games as well if I feel like playing them (The Witcher series, and Stardew valley) and this will sound pretty dorky, but around the time essays are due, when I get into it I love writing history essays being able to share my ideas and thoughts on a subjects mixed with academic opinion

Full blast music (a mix of 5 Seconds of Summer and a little of One Direction and Little Mix), coffee and cats or stuffed animals. And preferbally, not seeing my sister for the entire time. 

Hilariously, I am kinda starting to feel down, but trying to stabalise my mind.

Sometimes reading... uh.... violently actioned fanfics.

Other times, just watching whatever 5SOS video I happen to stumble upon. 

 

But if I am really down, loads of coffee, loud music, a plush (if I am inside) and last but not least, Isolation.

I feel like I talk about him a lot on here, but for the past month or so, my boyfriend has really been great about picking me up! He's so sweet!

[EpicEnergy 22,072]

I try to distract myself when I am down by doing things like playing video games, it seems to be a good method.

[Lucky Bolt 34,914]

Music, going for a drive, laughing with friends.....

[Splashee 28,537]

It has been a few years now since I felt down, and needed to be picked up. Thankfully, my family and friend (non-plural) are caring enough for me to help me in such a situation.

[Derpy Pon-3 5,649]

Anytime I feel down I usually just listen to music or hang out with my family and it makes me feel better  

[Scootaloo Is Best Filly 576]

I get sad a lot for whatever reason, here’s what cheers me up.

 

-listening to music and singing along

 

- Writing small stories

 

- going on to Discord or a forum I like

-watching my little pony

 

- Watching baseball 

 

- going on the internet and buying things

-Eating candy/ junk food etc.

Never existed. I cannot be brought up if I am down. That's my life situation. I try to not get down

 

[Astralshy 23,544]

Mainly music, tea, good friends. For a couple months ponies too :>

[Tom Gallagher 33,521]

All my awesome friends! 

[Cash In 21,506]

I have to pick myself up, if that makes any sense. It's difficult, but it works for me.

[Winter Storm 206]

Nothing really works anymore for me. I usually end up down till maybe the next day when I have to worry about work or whatever.

[Jackleberry 1,920]

Not much really, I kinda just have to wait it out and let it pass.

That said listening to music, even my "sad" songs, usually makes me feel better to some extent.

[Sunset Rose 251]

Faith in myself. I've been through a lot of awful things that shut a lot of other women down and I'm still running steady, every day.

My family- my husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law are very supportive even when I'm not very receptive to it. But they're always there for me no matter what and even if somehow I fail myself, they never will. And I'm always there for them no matter what.

And when all else fails, there's always alcohol!

 

[Sonic Shimmer 4,116]

If someone offers a hand, I greatly appreciate it. Otherwise I pick myself up.
