what do you when ur having a bad day?

[Rye]

I lay in bed and listen to music with my iPod. Or I read a book or watch TV.

[xXGldenCatXx]

I listen to music, thats always what I used to do, but then my self esteem goes to zero.

[Lindy]

I like to post on forums and whine about my terrible life in order to get attention.

[xXGldenCatXx]

I don't want attention.
Not really anyway, round here people are TERRIBLE when giving attention, they treat you like your six, and I'll stay calm and excuse what I thing was sarcasm, because I don't know you.

Lindy is always the gloomy voice of reason. The truth you don't want to hear.

It may sound hella cornie, but my anger is often taken out on drawings, programming, or some other creative outlet. I have a very short fuse as well - ask my kicking bag. Its just easier to turn that adrenalized energy into somting pure and constructive. A ton easier than you might make it out to be for yourself.

Thats why I just made my sig, that calms me down sometimes.

[Miriel]

I go to bed. Everything's all good when I'm asleep.

That's what I always do. Either sleep or watch my comfort movies. Movies that curiously make me feel worse before they make me feel better. Funny how that works out.

Comfort movie?

when i'm having a bad day, if i can i talk to my best friend, but when I can't I usually get really mad at the next person who crosses me, and go to my room and stay there until I've calmed down. I usually feel even worse if I take it out on other people, so i just try not to have bad days

[Doomie]

Talk to him, add Sneena into the equation, a dash of Azar, and you got yourself a good day.

[Shoeberto]

I ban people.

I realize that no matter how bad of a day I'm having, I've had worse days, and plenty of other people are having worse days. So I should stop bitching about how bad my life is, grow up a bit, and get over it.

But when I talk to other people who aren't in a good mood, my "therapy" is to (tell them to) say "Cinnamon M&Ms", out loud, over and over again. More often than not, it'll make you at least smile. But it could be because it reminds people of me, and I try to be a fun kind of guy, who makes people laugh and smile anyway.

[xXGldenCatXx]

Cinnamon M&M's That made me laugh.

Thanks guys.
I feel way better ^_^

I wanna get my two cents in since I used to be a cutter and am currently working someone out of burning (slightly) themselves.

Your doctor is right. Talk. Cutting might distract you from the problems, but it doesn't fix them or help you deal with them at all. Its just a distraction, and a momentary one at that. Which means you'd have to keep cutting to make it work, which is just retarded. I don't care if that makes me sound like a hypocrite. I learned my lesson.

See, when you talk, its out in the open. Not bouncing around in your head, 'cause when you keep it to yourself, no matter how much you try to convince yourself otherwise, you're NOT dealing with it that way. You're ignoring it. When you talk to someone it becomes the air between you. Like breathing it out. It puts things in perspective in your mind as well. Usually things don't seem nearly as big a deal once you've said it to someone. Talking can be an amazing tool if you have a willing ear. Just don't take that ear for granted, always be very appreciative of anyone willing to listen.
