You had a bad day

Just wondering what people do when they have a bad day to cheer themselves up or make themselves feel better?

Not that im having a bad day mind you, just curious. You're tired and frustrated, nothing went right today and you're feeling like cack. What do you do?

Things make me sleepy.

So, if I had a bad day, I'd probably sleep it off.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

In the days of being a kafir-scum, I would setlle down with friends (real people, not the TV show) and have a big spliff.

It made me feel better for about half an hour, then I felt 'meh' and lazy. In the morning I felt much worse (because I'd still remember the bad day I'd had, and I'd also now have a head ache and sore throat).

Nowadays, I WISH I could say I always sit down and read Qur'an. On the few occaisions that I have done this I've felt a WHOLE lot better - I like to open it at random, read the English translation first the recite the Arabic, that way you have more of an understanding of what your saying. You'll be surprised at the number of times the Surah you chose (competely 'randomly') relates directly to whatever problems you're having.

In reality, I just watch TV (or take my frustrations out on Tottenham Hotsur in Pro Evo).

The frown of a friend is better than the smile of a fool.

Listen to daniel puter song?

cry.

hmm It depends how 'down' I feel ... but generally:

At uni, i got to my room and channel my sadness out by engaging in either cleaning (NOT!) or reading or just reflecton why I was 'sad' and then think happy thoughts

At home, I go to my back garden or the park (which is like 5 mins walk from home), it doesn't matter how cold or rainy it is, I just sit... and take my glasses off to relief teh burden from my nose bridge (that is if i'm wearing my glasses) ... And day dream

If it's really rotten then I let my tears pour out of the eyelids but that only happens at night, before sleeping... Since I want to fall asleep while inhaling the smell of my tears

But I tend to forget why i was sad in a day or two so it's back to normal : )

Crying is good

It lets the boo hoos out!

But seriously

crying gets it all out
when you're all cried out, you can't be bothered being upset after it

What I usually do is watch something funny
usually videos of me and my friends doing stupid impressions
always works

Okay, im not gonna cry. Its just not somethng i do.

I prefer to watch an episode of either The Simpsons or Family Guy. That usually cracks me up. Or i channel it during a game of Halo 3... wild destruction and mayhem helps.

Or, if i cant be bothered with either of those then i hit the gym and work it off.

"You hired a male nanny?

A 'manny'?"

Damn E4 with it's never-ending repeats of friends!

I didn't know crying helped!

But being heper-sensitive over petty stuff is something I gave up a few years back, when I started to accept everything for what it was or is... I love having bad days, why you may ask, it's cos I look forward to the good days that follow!

I don't think I've had a 'bad' day since I quit my job. When I had them at work, I always liked to complain about it to someone who didn't care. That way, I realised it's not important (it's just work - I haven't spoken to any of those guys since the day I left, saying 'keep in touch' as I walked out the door for the final time).

What do you do?

Let go. Use the Force.

Thats what Obi Won Knobi advised Luke Skywalker when he
was feeling a bit down in that tunnel being chased by Darth Vader.

Yeah. Just forget about whatever's troubling you. Like it doesn't exist.

Gentleness and kindness were never a part of anything except that it made it beautiful, and harshness was never a part of anything except that it made it ugly.

The journey of 1000 miles must begin with a single step.

Are you mocking Obi Won !!!!

Blasphemer !!!

I think his name is OBI-WAN, not Obi-Won.

I listen to optimistic stuff, use a punch bag and make myself a cup of tea. That always helps!

Chin up, mate! Life's too short.

When I have a bad day the only thing I want to do is cry to my mum about it. No other person or relation would ever give you the sympathy you're looking for apart from your mum.

But dont you think that its better not to make your mother worry more.

Why burden her further?

I don't care how sad this makes me appear, but Fly Like a Bird by Mariah Carey is a pretty brilliant song, for lifting spirits.

Cry.

You have a punch bag? I want a punch bag!! Now that really helps!

Im a lil surprised no one said meditate or something.

The Jedi learn to keep things in perspective. A way of aknowledging reality but not to the expense of the present or without letting it get to you.

Not really.

I tried that once, but I got no satisfaction as inanimate objects cannot feel pain.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

It works just like meditation does... taking your mind off whatever it is that caused you to feel, different (otherwise known as sad) - the difference being meditation is taht it lacks neural impulses induced compared to when pummelling a stubborn bag.

naah, I need to see the pain, otherwise it gets me angry. er.

to see someone in pain, hmm ... That is kind of impossible, 'I feel pain when I see pain' << stupid I know!
