What are some things you do to feel better when you’re having a bad day? (besides opening up to someone as that doesn’t work for me)

1. To draw, although I don’t do it as often as I used to but it was a good way to use the mood

2. Listen to music and or play disc golf

3. Watch shameful amounts of pornography.

4. Smoke weed, watch old films, eat some junk food, have a long hot shower, go to bed early to hit gym the following morning to offset the lack of activity and bad eating.

5. Yoga, take dog for a walk, clean and organize, meditate, go for a bike ride, play drums, go see mom and dad, watch stand up comedy, cook a meal.

   The one thing i won’t do is sit around dwelling on it, always makes it worse for me

6. write it down in a diary and then try to put it out of my mind

   write a letter in my notes to whoevers pissed me off, but dont send it

7. Riding a bike

8. Scotch

9. Smoke a cigarette

10. Get on utube, pick a topic and study

11. Play some Xbox, go for a hike, or sort through my magic the gathering cards.

12. Besides talking to someone? Music. Full volume.

13. I’m a fan of treating myself to some shitty fast food. Grab the food, get in front of the TV and watch a movie

14. Getting high or swallowing a bunch of melatonin until I pass out.

15. Watch porn.
    Post but clarity helps alot to feel better

16. Peanut M&Ms and a Cherry Pepsi

17. I just calling my friends in discord and we playing [PUBG](https://now.gg/instaplay/game/pubg-mobile-resistance) or any other games

18. Listen to music, see other ppl’s problems on Reddit, sleep, talk to my friends who will make me laugh, read a book.. even though you say opening up doesn’t help? I’d u want to talk git me up on chat, cause even if it doesn’t resolve the problem, it’s good vent).

19. I just get out of my apartment and go for a walk. Changing your scenery is good and, while walking, I let my mind wander and I think about things. I usually feel less bad afterwards.

    Beyond that, sometimes I force myself to do my dishes and straighten up my apartment. It just keeps me busy and occupied while I’m at least doing something to improve my immediate surroundings.

20. Listen to heavy metal. The heavier, the better.

21. Sazerac.

22. Video gaming. VR especially. Being able to just be out of the world for a bit, in my own bubble.

23. Listen to sad songs

24. Gym, ride/drive, games. I do my best thinking alone. I think about a lot of problems by myself. If I ask advice, it’s just to bounce the idea off someone. I alone make the decision.

25. If I can force myself to get a sweat going, or to sit down and write. Those almost always make me feel better, though it can be difficult to get going when you’re already having a bad day. Sometimes I can think my way into feeling better, realising how minute the thing bothering me is in the grand scheme of things, and reminding myself how free I am to just pack up and move onto another situation if the current one becomes too intolerable. This is less reliable.

26. Porn is about only thing that works these days.

27. Taco Bell cravings box and a Four Loko

28. Gaming. Nothing more therapeutic than CS:GO and dying for five rounds straight and swearing at the 12-year-old who killed you the hacking fuck.

29. Fishing , going out for a run , lift waits .
