When I'm Sad, What Helps Me Is...

[Rantiki]

Sometimes dependent on the situation that's made me sad, then crying is the only way. I am "grieving" at present and I find crying helps me a lot, my work does too, it's hard to not see the bright and good side of life when surrounded by happy and playing four year olds.

Mostly though for run of the mill sadness dancing helps, and also thinking how lucky I am sometimes I find that more effective for any attack of the poor me's I suffer from.

Definitely crying it out and listening to music, reading a book and playing a video game also help keep me from thinking about certain things that make me upset. Luckily those help me because recently I found out that my dog has cancer and that she probably doesn't have much time left. You think that you would be prepared for something like this, but most times you're not. Having someone to vent and talk to really helps for times like this and I'm glad that I have friends and family who care.

What helps me is music. I'm not kidding. Music has been with me for as long as I can remember, and it's always been there for me too. It's been my anger, my sadness, my tears... everything. It's literally my entire fucking life. I can't imagine my life without it, and I probably wouldn't be here if it wasn't for having it. Music has saved my life. <3 So, it's often the first thing I resort to when I'm a pissed or depressed kind of mood as well. With the shit I've been dealing with lately, it's the only thing able to keep my sane at the moment. It keeps me from self-harming and helps me get through it all.

So yeah.

Listening to music tends to help a lot, it's nice to relate to the lyrics of a song in times like those.
