What do you do when your blue?

I do the same, just open Netflix and eat pizza or ice cream and then sleep the problems away. I'm usually better when I wake up.

I'm not surprised hearing that some people are this way when they seem to be pissed. There was a friend I had long ago, it was actually a lady and in one of our discussion one day, she made it known to me that she have this behavior of eating too much anytime she is angry. It was a shocking revelation to me back then because under normal circumstances, when I'm angry I will lose my hunger for any food.

I suppose this works for that general sadness that hits us sometimes. At times there simply isn't a cause or solution for why we're feeling down, so it's best to just grab some comfort food and do something you
enjoy.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend this as a constant solution. Needless to say, if someone is experiencing frequent feelings of sadness or depression, it's better to find a more permanent solution. I used to drown out the blues with food and alcohol but it led to some pretty massive weight gain that took a while to trim off.

Oh yeah, definitely, depression is a real problem and should be addressed with the help of a professional. I used to be overweight too but I lost a lot of weight this year, and I haven't felt sad or upset or anything that warranted Netflix and binge eating, lol.

Ice cream sounds great, its a good thing to ease tension down. Although in may have an effect on your weight, but its better to be satisfied with what you eat than being blue with your stomach growling.

That's so interesting. I usually just try to shake it off or talk to a friend. A little bit of me time also helps a lot, taking care of my body by doing a facial mascara or getting my hair done. Little things like that improve my mood almost instantly. That and jamming to a good playlist.

I have to agree food makes things a lot better. And it can get the stress out. i think gym also does the same thing. And you have to change a routine from the daily life.

Usually, I watch my favorite TV shows, or listen to the music I like the most. Eating a lot, not so much, but I do like to eat something I'm really craving for, maybe some Nutella or anything with chocolate on it, generally some dessert or sweet snack. What I try to do, is anything that can distract me from what made me feel blue. So, that way my mind feels occupy, and doesn't focus on the bad situation, because I tend to repeat it mentally over and over.

I get your point about distracting your mind. I try to distract my mind from things that make me sad, but that doesn't work. I can't distract my mind from things 24/7. That won't solve the problem. Lately, I've been trying to face whatever I'm dealing with, get a closure and move on. It's better for your mental health to deal with things and get over them.

Totally, avoiding an issue is not going to solve it or disappear it. It really gets on my nerves, when there's an uncomfortable situation between me and someone else, and that person avoids to confront the issue. Honestly, I like to talk about it, to learn how to deal with it, express my point of view, and I feel completely frustrated, with my head about to blow, when the other acts like everything is normal.

Me too! I really hate when I get into an argument and then the other person starts avoiding the issue as if nothing happened. I cannot get over with my life having an unresolved matter. I need to discuss it and get it over with, it really frustrates me to avoid it. My mood depends a lot about my relationships with others, I don't really cause problems, not a fan or arguments but, whenever there is an issue with someone else, it becomes a priority for me to fix it as soon as possible.

Exactly. My mom taught me to fix my own issues, and whenever I have a difficult situation with someone, it's like a need that I feel to fix it. I've learned (with time), that honestly those people that avoid confrontation, are the ones that need help, because all that repressed emotion, will eventually will cause an explosion. So, I recently had a similar situation with a friend, and I decided not to invest time, effort, and caring, on someone that doesn't care about our friendship. It's his lost and I can't keep waiting for that person to deal with his issues, so I have to move on.

Exactly. People who can't face their problems need some serious help. It'll just build up inside and really hurt them in the end. That's why I always try to avoid that and work on whatever issues I have with other people. And if they can't bring themselves to even try and discuss your problems to try and find a solution, then I don't think they're worth it. These are not called friends! Friends are there to be with you through it all, and if a problem gets in the way, they should try to get it out of the way.

They're not worth your time. I'm not saying they're bad individuals.

They're not interested in solving things, move on.

I'm a mix of both. I don't know what is going on in your friendship and that person but like I said. I am a mix of both. I am kinda that person that avoids confrontation but I care more then most people. You saying that friend doesn't care, I don't know them so I can't say. For me however, I care more. That is why I avoid it. I feel too much. I can't handle it. I don't like any awkwardness or confrontation. Good for you, but it's not always that easy. I feel the need to fix things as well but I just can't deal with awkwardness and confrontation.

You care more and that's why you avoid it? How can that be?
You care about a person but you avoid solving the issues that you guys have and you're okay with not talking to them because you fear confrontations. I genuinely don't understand your point of view.
I hate awkwardness too and that's why I try to solve whatever issue I have with that person so that we get back to being normal and not feel awkward in our relationship. Confrontation is the key to avoiding awkwardness.

Depending on what turned my mood and emotion into a terrible state would go a long way in determining how or what I would be doing in such moment. Sometimes it might be listening to music, seeing a movie, playing games, or hitting it out at the gym. But there are times when I would feel like crawling into my shell and be in isolation.

When I'm blue, I don't eat at all. My emotional state greatly affects my appetite. I would just shut up all day, not eat, listen to sad music and binge watch Vikings till it goes away. It's very important to me to stay isolated when I'm in a bad mood. Being alone actually makes me feel better.

The best thing to do when I'm feeling blue is to eat any tasty cheesy comfort food I think like Pizza would do cheer me up haha. My music playlist helps me as well to make me feel relaxed and later getting into the groove and followed by good mood. Better not to be stressed about being blue, life is short and every minute counts it is important that you feel happy and satisfied always even if there are down times. Just get up and be appreciative of what life offers you whether good or bad, always think on a positive manner.

Pray. Specially when you don't know the reason of your anxiety. The best listener is God, go in your room and talk to him. Ask for guidance and strength. Or try to talk to a friend. Sometimes we just need someone to talk to, some one who will listen.
Worst thing about being sad is that it leads to depression. If someone you know has the same problem, don't hesitate to talk and listen to them. You don't know how good impact it will do to them.

This one is the main key. Honestly, no matter how bad the situation can be, when you pray you feel like you are giving that heavy feeling to someone, so you feel a little bit lighter. As you say, all that sadness inside, no one to share about it, can lead to depression, and we have seen what that disease can do, it has taken a lot of valuable lives, most of them very young ones.

Yes, most of the times the victims of depression are our young ones. They are at the stage of self-identity. They give importance most specially to their social life and school work. They tend to be very emotional and are facing tough times during adolescence. This is the time where they give importance to "being a part" of a group. That is why a little sadness and a feeling of being left out leads to depression.
We've been through this before in our early age, and we are blessed to have overcome those "tough times" of being an adolescent. And we as adults, are here to guide and support them mentally, emotionally and spiritually for them to overcome these tough stages of life.
Just talk to them. Try to ask them if they are okay. Listen to them.
That would help a lot.

Get it. And no matter how much we grow up, we still like to have a group of friends to share our day by day, that's normal because we are social beings. Unfortunately, human nature also makes us be competitive between each others, so more often than not, social media pushes us to compare ourselves with other people's lives, and that can lead to depressive feelings.

Yes, no man is island. But actually it still depends on the person as well. If they are matured enough to avoid comparing themselves with others and wise enough to ignore criticisms, and enviousness that are actually caused by using social media too often, it won't lead you to any depression. Whether you are young or old. But usually, the victims here are the young ones. That is why I said they needed more attention and guidance.

Sometimes when I feel blue I just listened to some songs that makes me feel comfortable and forget all the emotional and pain that I am experiencing. Doing things that makes me happy is also one thing that I am considering whenever I feel loneliness for some reasons.

Being sad is a moment that is inevitable in the life of any human being as we are all prone to some moments where things won't be going well for us. However, I think that the best thing to do is to push for happiness since it is the situation where the things that we desire to do come to pass. Whenever I am not feeling happy, I open my laptop and watch some good movies that can move me higher from the current feeling that I have then.

Well, I suppose there are a number of things I do.

Firstly I try to figure out exactly why I'm feeling blue and if there is anything I can do about it. If I know it is something I can fix, then I work on what is going to make me happy. If I find it's un-fixable, then I already feel better knowing there simply isn't anything to be done.

If it's just a general sadness that happens to us all sometimes, then I try to just occupy my mind with things that I enjoy, such as video games or reading. Sometimes I like to work or start up a new project because that sense of accomplishment helps me feel better about myself.

There are a lot of things to do that I can think of whenever I feel blue and not in the mood to talk to people or go out.

1. Binge watch - I do a TV series marathon or movies that I failed to watch in the cinema.
2. Sleep - What better way to make you feel better but to rest the body and mind. So I sleep, sleep, and sleep
3. Eat - Unlike other people, I am the type of person who eats a lot instead of not having an appetite when I am blue. Ice cream could really make me feel good.
4. Cleaning - This one is the advantage of me being blue. I clean the whole house. I just put on loud rock music while I do the cleaning and sing with it. I guess with the loud sound and singing plus the physical activity is what makes me feel better after.

Getting out of the house and doing that instantly makes me feel better. That's why they always say that people eat themselves out of stress and that the number one cause of over eating is stress. Growing up that is what I did to cope with my stresses and it lead to me being overweight. As I have grown up I have learned that if I binge the next day or week or month, I must get back to my normal weight.

I make sure I never make any decision when I'm mad because I know I will only regret it once I get okay. Playing my jazz music is what really helps me relax when I'm sad and forget stress at all. I love most instrumental and bossanova, that really helps me to calm down and be back on track.

I agree @romyter013 when I'm blue music is the one of the only balm to whichever problem I'm going through. In the last year I have been through so much. I have had a really hard time. I've been to hell and back.What I have learned is that the most important thing is to get rest and relaxation. That is the way out of your blues. When you are tired or stressed your know good to anyone or to yourself. Take a walk, relax, go for massage, treat yourself and have early nights.

When I am sad I listen into sad songs and eat a lot. I cry until the last drop of my tears to relieve the sadness I am feeling at that moment. If someone sats beside me I oftenly open things up if that person is close into me. I don't like the feeling of being sad because I feel so down to the point that I'm a useless person. So I am preventing it to happen.

There are lot of things that help me come out of blues. When I feel sad and dejected, I cook, eat, watch movies, go to shopping, listen to music. start meditating, do breathing exercise...in fact the list is so long.
My favorite one is eating. Eating is a great way to manage your stress and anxiety.

I watch romcom or chick-flick movie to entertain myself and distract myself from feeling blue. But sometimes I want to linger the feeling of being blue, and write how a sad poetries.

Whenever I feel a little low or when I am feeling completely pissed off about something generally I would do many things simultaneously. first of all, I will go out and get some fresh air. then I will try to concentrate on my breathing which tends to become very fast whenever I am feeling agitated about something. this helps me to cool down and become normal eventually. I also like to switch on my favorite music to just make me feel relaxed.

Whenever I'm blue, I listen to music while I recall or make up happy things. I also love to read poems or overeat to alleviate my sadness. However, I find it more uplifting to have a walk by a seashore or a street covered by trees.

I actually love the concept of feeling blue/sad. I see it as an opportunity. It's your body telling you that it has interests and desires that haven't been discovered yet, but are sorely needed. This, to me, is one of the most essential phases of life figuring out what you enjoy and what you want to dedicate your time to. So take the hint, especially if you have so much free time, and go and explore every aspect of life that even remotely piques your fancy. Stay open minded.

Very weird@anyone01. You seem to have sadastic tendencies,Lol. But relax I know what you mean. You mean that when you are sad and blue it's life/your soul/your body/your spirit, telling you that you are not living on purpose, I agree with this. Some of us just try to burry the blues away instead of finding out why we are blue. I agree this is like the universe pointing to something or away from something. Its your job to find out. However I think that you should try to feel better first. For example I like to read romance novels or watch movies to feel better.

Whenever I feel blue, I just make myself a mug of coffee, I take my guitar and I just sing old songs. Old songs has a way of relating to sad emotions and I really like them. Singing them is somehow a way of telling why I fell blue, even though I really don't understand why I am sad in the first place.

Hello there!
This rarely happens because I don't have time for it. Lots of job.
But when it did (back in school/univeristy) I used to order pizza and watch tv series. Was fun gotta say. What do you do when your blue?
