Depends on how depressed I am. I usually sit in my room and think about it until I convince myself that I haven't screwed everything up. :D

Not all of us. It's illegal to shoot off fireworks in AZ unless you're liscenced. Or something.

Um, guys?

Can we stop throwing around the word "depression" as if it means "really sad"?

Thanks.

It is here in SC, too (I think)

But as for easing my pain, I like to play a game with good replay value like SSBM. Just knowing I'm good at it and pwning a machine makes me feel better.

Not in the upstate. :D

EDIT: JD: wtf? Look at number four.
4. sadness; gloom; dejection.
So, yeah. Depression = really really sad. :D
EDIT DEUX: Number five further proves my point.
5. a condition of general emotional dejection and withdrawal; sadness greater and more prolonged than that warranted by any objective reason.

This crazy sound track I made a while back with TMBG, Avril, and some crazy Anime songs.

That Limozeen coloring book works too...

Hmmm... I don' think I really get upset that much... I guess when I do, I just listen to Penny Lane or something. Or watch South Park or something. Or take a walk... or something. :mrgreen:

i spent a great deal of time as master of teen angst. i wrote in my little journal about things like loss of innocence, sentimentality, and all other stuff i was very consciously aware of as being very cliche. and now when i feel like junk i try to take my mind off it. homework, tv, something to numb the pain.

alternately, i used to spend a lot of time wallowing in it, and it really wasn't that bad. when you face it and accept it and live like it, it works. but i could never do that anymore. if i had been born a year or two later when emo hit popular i totally woulda been an emo kid. instead i listened to david bowie and wilco for three years (and uncle tupelo, theres some nice, heart-wrenching stuff there)

but seriously, long-term, find something that does it for you. find a person, maybe or a really good book. it took me a long time to realize that my parents actually sometimes ground me pretty well, though i resented them for a while too. find a cd, or a friend that gets you, and hold onto that, because it's worth fighting for.

whoa, apparently my way to deal with sadness is to dispense mildly cliche, partially wistful, smile-when-i'm-sad advice. woohoo!


EDIT: JD, good call. i made an effort not to use the term depression because your implied point is correct. it's a condition, not what happens when you get an F on a paper. I suspect that had i gone to a doctor i might have been diagnosed, but i also think it probably would have been improper. i was just really morose and that type of thing doesn't really dog me much anymore. i'm just a sensitive person. I agree that we should probably go light on the word depression, or at least make it clear that we use it not in the sense of "clinical depression" but in the colloquial sense.

Recently, the way I have been dealing with pain is writing about it, whether it be in my LiveJournal, or on paper.
For some reason, it just helps me. I like venting things out. I don't care whether people read it or not. Just knowing I have gotten it out really helps me.

I've notced that playing multiplayer Conker's Bad Fur Day and/or taking a hot shower makes me feel better. Before, I used to wallow in my misery until I was too tired and fell asleep. Like all the time. Until going to a doctor, getting medicine, and such. But still, whenever I feel crummy, I'll take a shower. But playing a few rounds of Heist and Beach are fun and helpful. Especially whacking the AI characters with a bat. ;)

Break out the metalcore CDs. I save them for special occasions. They're like the anchovies. ;)

I just read whatever crap is around and distance myself from everything else. It works for me.

Yeah, today when I was feeling down about everything going on around school, I just read.
And when I got home, I listened to some music.
Music and reading are the best ways for me to overcome emotional pain, I think.
