I always use loads of petrol when I'm feeling down coz I spend loads of time going for long drives & listening to music.... helps me because it's time to think, & time to myself - some people prefer to be surrounded by friends though. It usually helps to talk about it, depends what you're feeling down about though.

I do the same now, I find driving quite therapeutic. Especially when the other option is playing Gooseberry with my mate and housemate, who are seeing each other at the moment.

Alternatively try getting drunk. Don't do both at the same time mind...

I've been getting depressed on and off throughout the summer. I found that drinking doesn't really help. It takes your mind off it for a bit, but you feel like shit again in the morning. I spent a few days off the booze and felt as right as rain again.

Have a wank?

why drink and drive when you can smoke and fly?

She won't mind when she doesn't get that Dido CD for her birthday then, huh?

Im sure the afrians wouldnt mind a copy of the Dido album.

And your sister never had a problem on her mind, eh?

I usually find the nearest mate and talk it over with them

lifes too short to feel sorry for yourself

hell, if i could i'd feel like crap and mad at the world all the time cos i dont have that much going for me. ever.

but i play the card ive been dealt with and try to sort it out and have a laugh along the way. if you have a positive attitude things will start to be positive for you as well.

in the words of d'ream - 'things can only get better'

this was a ''be happy'' statement from the Lewis party

It could be Seasonal Affective Disorder, it's bitter here, nasty weather there?

But seriously, I'd go to a friend, talk it over. Cheesy to say a problem shared is a problem halved, but it feels better when it's not bottled up. Arrange a night out to take my mind off things. Or go and spend money, the sort of retail therapy keeps you happy for a wee while. Drinking doesn't solve many problems, it generally creates more. I can't drive, so long walks are my version, which are always nice.

I'd go on the internet and moan hoping for advice off some strangers, wait, oh no I wouldn't.

He is right though, less time with 'virtual' friends and more time with real friends does help.

Done editing yet Ad? How many times was that? 4 I counted.

If my Mum had died recently i doubt i'd be on the t'internet posting threads about it, asking for advice off strangers. My life and the internet are two totally different things and I'll keep them that way. I dont find threads about your mum been dead interesting, Maybe i'll start a thread for all my family members dead, then the board would be fun eh?

And no i wont * off, you could do us all a favour and * off instead of telling others to.
