When your down and upset or depressed what cheers you up?
When Im upset I usually grab some chocolate and watch a DVD like When Harry Met Sally or Maid In Manhatten or Friends...Im usually happier then..or i talk to my friends..
what bout you?
 
Watch Friends or A Xander/Anya BtVs episode (sometimes Buffy in general!) I also come to BB. (Shows how empty my life is! lol)
 
When I'm feeling lonely, I grab some ice cream and watch Psycho(the original, not the crappy remake)and just be happy I'm not Marion Crane. Or a complete raving lunatic. Plus, Anthony Perkins is a cutie, and he always makes me smile. 😛
 
I usually come online, or watch a video like Black Beauty (hehe), look @ pictures of Jazz, watch one of the LOTR dvds (unless my &itchy sis comes in and puts me in a worse mood!)or turn on some music and either draw or write, that always calms me down.
 
Stick my headphones on and crank the music up loud. If i'm really annoyed, then i'll listen to Puddle of Mudd. I'll go online or i'll write for a bit. Try and read or watch my favourite eps of Angel or Smallville (Exile epecially) on video or DVD. I usually snap out of it eventually.
 
Coming online and chatting to friends. Jumping around to 'Little Black Backpack' by Stroke 9, watching my collection of movies that make me feel better, which currently involve - Pitch Black, 2 Fast 2 Furious, White Oleander, Dazed and Confused, Good Will Hunting, A Shot at Glory, Tigerland, Harts War, Tomb Raider 2, Reign of Fire and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days...and if you look closely you'll see a link througout most of those movies 😉
 
I go to the local bookstore, new or used (doesn't matter) and browse, or get into the car and drive with my OMWF soundtrack on...if it's really bad, I'll listen to OMWF on my way to the bookstore...
 
If I'm upset I usually just get a hug from my boyfriend! He knows how to cheer me up most of the time. If that doesn't work then I get some chocolate and watch something funny! 🙂
 
Let's see. If Hannah is around, than there is no way I can be depressed because that girl is like laughing gas. She's the nicest person I've ever met in my life. So, when she's not around and I get upset, I either listen to music, watch Buffy season finales, or I go and beat the crap outta my punching bag.
 
Watching cartoons with my little grandson.
Coming online and reading something interesting or funny you guys have posted.
An unexpected kindness or compliment when I'm having a bad day at work.
Getting an unexpected nice response or PM to something I've posted when I'm having a bad day at work.
Many other things cheer me up - life's too short to dwell on misery🙂

That is a good theory to go by 🙂

Another thing that cheers me up is Bon Jovi, its one that i've used for years, i've been a fan since I was 8 years old and its still working yet. Put it on loud and just let the stress go. I especially enjoy singing along to 'Its My Life' and 'Captain Crash & The Beauty Queen From Mars.'

In the words of Billy Connolly....

"What the bleep?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever bleeping does!! What can you do that's longer?"

Sorry, lol, just reminded me of it. I agree that you shouldn't dwell on misery but the whole "life's too short" thing is a bit of a cliche! No offence mr pointy! lol 🙂
