I've found myself in a bit of a funk today, I just want to curl up in a ball.
So in effort to try to cheer myself up, I'm going to watch some videos of kittens and guinea pigs playing. That's surely got to work.
So here's my question (as I might steal your ideas too), what do you do to cheer yourself up when you're feeling down? What's a guaranteed way to make you smile?

Sending hugs Kitty....
The one thing guaranteed to make me smile is my nephews. I got a video this morning of the 4 year old explaining exactly why he NEEDED to wash my car, which ended with a lesson in why trains are better than tractors. |

Whatever you do to make you smile just remember to keep smiling and have a stupid grin on your face the whole time, doesn’t matter what you are hiding but it really makes people wonder what you are up to 
Hope you’re day gets better, stay positive test negative x |

Search on you tube for "superCAT cat jump fail"
It's my favourite video of all time. Mostly because of the music that accompanies it. It's helping a little! |

Funny animals for sure. Like the Wild Series.
But you know what sometimes that fetal position and fluffy blanket solve it too. Honouring the feeling. Or something like that. X |

That's rather a lot to take on a walk? Impressive! Does the kitten carry the cake? |

My bonkers dogs always....
But today in particular.. got a call from my best friend telling me my godson (6) wanted to talk to me.
He has now definately decided (until next week ) that he is going to be at my wedding in full Darth Vader costume.
I was delighted.... his mother is miffed as she's been holding out for a kilt... luckily...I am the cool Aunty  |

I love being outdoors but sometimes if I am feeling low I can't be bothered to do anything, but rather than give in to those feelings and hibernate I push myself to go out for a small walk and within moments I can feel the mood lifting.
I also comfort eat, which I wouldn't recommend.
Last night I watched Dirty Dancing, it's a guilty pleasure for me. The soundtrack and the dancing lifted my spirits. Yet the night before I wanted to shed a tear and watched A Star is Born.
I have also been playing online Scrabble with total strangers, not chatting to them but just enjoying the mind challenge in a non stressful way.
I hope your mood lifts soon OP, have a cwtch to help.
Her x

driving with my bairn in the car, and a motorcyclist went ballistic because someone cut me up, and i obviously braked so as not to crash, he wasn't paying attention and apparently blamed me.
Chased me for miles, trying to hit my wingmirrors of, brake checking me, swerving infront of me, punching mine and my toddler's windows and doors, trying to open them, pulling over unt I get close then speeding straight for us.
Honestly i love driving and I'm a very confident driver, but this has terrified me to the point where having to drive home after the incident, any time I've seen or heard a motorbike I've broken down crying and shaking.
Like a proper mess. Don't want to drive anymore 
I wish I could help you Kitty but am more looking for your advice P |

Jesus that's awful, what a f*cking dick! Some guy chased me once down a dead end road and I just sat at the end of it terrified and locked my car up and waited for him to eventually leave. Why are some people such arseholes?
Has your partner got home yet? You sound really shaken, maybe stay off the roads for a day or two and then maybe try to go out with your partner a few times to build your confidence back up? |

^i had to re- read that twice.
If you are in road rage with police? , would they ‘cop’ a mouth full? , when they are yelling, do you tell them to give it ‘A Rest’? (It’s the best I have to cheer anyone up.
Hope you feel better soon. X |

Thanks for everyone's replies. I've made myself a cup of tea (and soon a glass of wine I think), watched some funny YouTube clips, went and sat in my garden for a bit and listened to the birds, and I'm feeling a little better now.
Much obliged to you all xxx |

What a brave motorcyclist - chasing someone with their kids.
That does sound awful. I hope you were able to give the details to the Police.
Im sure you'll get your confidence back - take some time out if you can be and dont push yourself too hard |

"Hope your funk lifts soon, try watching fainting goats, plus cake always works #justsaying "
I had to check out what you meant by fainting goats, so turned to YouTube. This did make me chuckle.
Why hadn't I heard of this phenomenon before. Makes a change from my go to crazy cat videos!
Thanks for enlightening me.

It was mentioned in a chat room and nobody believed I hadn't heard of it, there are many clips so many smiles to be had and they're soooo cute.

Hi Kitty,

I feel much better. Do what you love doing and get those endorphins going xx |

Me too for walking on the beach. The sound of the waves and the feel of the sand always makes me happy. Dolphins would top it off nicely. |

There are so many things that bring a smile to my face. If I need to force one then cute videos are always good. I challenge anyone not to smile at the YouTube video cover by Milana Life of a song called Dance Monkey. That will make you smile
