With so many people feeling depressed, abused, or just leaving the forum for a while I pondered that question.
I was prompted by hearing Ewan McGregor on the radio this morning saying that no matter how bad a day he has, when he gets on his (motor) bike its all gone. Too much to concentrate on and it takes all his troubles away. I know there are a number of us bikers on here who will identify with that :twisted: Nothing like spending some time on two wheels.
I also like a good book, usually with a complex plot and completely divorced from reality - so Sci Fi can also do it for me.
Other things are music, and it depends what the subject of my depression is as to what I listen to - sometimes some very slow baroque such as Corelli, Bach or Pachelbel, or early Led Zeppelin in hard blues mode - Dazed and Confused is a sure winner for me.
So come on lets hear what works for everyone else.

When you're down what cheers you up again?
Traipsing from shop to shop and ending up buying nothing just gives me a feeling of failure.

To be honest?
Just the realisation that we live on such a beautiful planet and are lucky to be here - that we only get one go on this merry-go-round and no matter how bad things may appear, there are a hell of a lot of people in far worse/harder situations than any of us here are likely to ever find ourselves in.
Sound a bit dewey eyed and rose-tinted spectacles? Maybe, but I honestly believe, a lot of it is about 'perception'.

Yep, I have a whole bunch of songs that I use to 'pick me up'
If I get really cheesed off tho - its off over the forest with the kids for a bluddy good walk/play. We always have a brilliant time, end up filthy dirty, and usually wet if there's puddles/bog to jump over/in.
Gawd, this summer, my youngest fell off the rope swing head first into the river :shock: Good mother that I am, couldn't help her out for laughing! Poor kid
:rotflmao: :rotflmao:There's nothing quite like going to what feels like the middle of nowhere, with the two most treasured people in my life. No distractions, no gadgets - just us together. Really does give me an appreciation of what's important in my life.
Nothing but the sound of...........
can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog, can we get a dog,

Missy, that sounds such fun!
usually this place picks me up, but tonight I seem to be kinda stuck in unhappyville.

What puts life into perspective for me is to remember back, not so long ago, when I worked in admin in a Hospice.
One thing that I will always remember, is that those terminally ill people didn't have a choice of whether to live, but the rest of us do.
So live your life the way you want it to be.
