I don't do anything. I just let it run its course. It's been running its course a lot lately. (That's better than sitting down and each package after package of cookies or baking a cake and eating it all.)

Sometimes I eat, or take in a whirlpool bath.
Or get online and play around.

When I'm feeling down about something specific I'll call a friend or relative, or I'll find something to cheer me up.

I go someplace beautiful, preferably outdoors, and take lots of photographs!

As a depression/OCD/GAD sufferer, I have bouts with "the blues" quite often.

I will resort to prayer, bring to mind the many blessings in my mind, and exercise. Eventually the blues will run their course and the sun comes out again.

I listen to music or call one of my daughters and/or granddaughter. If that doesn't work I call my best friend of 30 years and talk. We will laugh for hours on the phone (she lives in Texas and I'm in Wisconsin) otherwise we'd be at each others homes daily. :( I miss her.

Depends on why I'm blue(funny we asked the same question today ;-) and whether I want to get out of it or wallow in it. Music choices can go either way, but that's usually what I do--listen to music. Also calling a friend or relative, talking to my hubby or going for a walk. Sometimes I'm just feeling sorry for myself and I give myself a kick in the pants or find someone else who will.

I listen to music ... and then submerging myself in a good book is a good way to make it go away until it's at least somewhat less potent in your system. :)

Well, first of all, a big WOOT! to Rob, so very glad to hear about that!!!

I always have to have music, so many kinds and it has literally saved my life countless times. These days I will also gather, find some friends there to talk to, maybe someone else who is feeling blue, cheering them up always works for me too!!

Just relax and listen to some music or watch television, if I can't take a walk.
Breathing excersizes help too. It's kinda like meditating.

Weather Bad?

Put on my headphones and listen to Dylan and usually follow that with a writing lesson.

Weather Good?

Walk the dog or go do some field archery.

I pull my 4 year old son into my lap and have him give me a big squeeze followed by our routine of a kiss then Eskimo kisses, butterfly kisses and squeeky kisses (blowing rasberries on a cheek). ALWAYS makes me feel better!

I used to bake or cook, but due to health limitations that's out now. Mostly I just soak it in. Not too cool, is it?

Susan K. Jul 4, 2008, 12:12pm EDT

Thank you, Mandi!!!

I am a 'blues sleeper' eventhough that is probably the worst thing for me at the time. I need to befriend the bakers of the group but then again I probably would be 300 lbs. if I did the baking thing! At least if I am sleeping I am not eating! That's something!

I use to eat and smoke cigarettes, but that was killing me so I quit smoking, went on a diet and now when I am depressed I spend the money I would have spent on cigarettes buying jewelry (or other fun things for me) online. That is the coolest part about having that cigarette money, I now have items that last longer than a puff of smoke!
