I don't, always.
Its as unnatural to feel happy all the time as it is to feel sad all the time..
Feel it, own it, have a cry if you like. Your feelings are always valid.
Then suck it up and move on xx |

If I ever have any strong mood I'll generally always appreciate it for what it is - great moods / times are good obviously, and if anything ever got me down I'd own it, look at it in perspective and deal with it - ignoring low moods doesn't work. It's healthy to have a variety of moods, not too frequent or long term I mean.
If it's just Monday blues or something, well that's just typical human behaviour largely. |

I try to just smile and think of good things when I'm feeling crappy. When that fails, I have Marc and my two dogs to make me happy. And that always works

This for me.
I give myself a set amount of time to wallow, be that an hour, a day or a week. Then I shake myself off, put on a fake smile and pretend to be fine. And sooner or later I am fine. |

I've not figured it out yet. When i feel shit and low it's normally someone else that drags me out, not something I'm able to do myself.
That's one of the reasons why fab works for me. There's people here who are able to help with that whether they realise it or not. |

I don't know how anyone can even watch that rubbish. It hurts my eyes and ears |

I go to work. Sad as it sounds. Either realising that there are some sick fuckers in the world and my life isn't that bad, or helping someone with their problems, put mine into perspective.
Alternatively, I bash the shit out of a punch bag or go for a run along the seafront. |

I believe it's par for the course in life. You can't be jovial constantly. Just let it ride itself out because tomorrow is another day and feelings are just feelings......ffickle and changeable so don't stress.too much x  |

Remind myself that infact, its not that bad at all and there are people far worse off.
Usually I find them by opening my curtains (ie, you dont have to look far) |

"Used to be thrashing a motorbike around some twisty roads, didn't have to go fast, just try to get the corners linked smoothly."
Didn't you have a tls1000?
Is there such a thing as smooth on one of those beasts :p |

I like to walk up a hill near me and sit to look at the view with a flask of tea. Or I'll go for a brew with one of my friends and by the time I leave, I'll feel better. (Tea seems to be my common denominator.) |

For me, I usually turn to exercise...even though I may absolutely not feel like it at the time, dragging myself to the gym or out on a run generally picks me up a bit. If nothing else it helps release a few endorphins and if done with a bit of intensity, blocks out any shit that is playing on my mind for a bit. |

Exercise. Go for a walk.. Focus on something to look forward to.
Realise it will pass, and there is always someone worse off. If all else fails, spend a few pounds on meaningless crap on ebay. |

Going for a walk doesn't work for me...it needs to be intense exercise. I find if I go for a walk then I just seem to dwell on it and it ruminates...I need activities which take my mind off the issue and not focus them on it.. |

I can see where your coming from, I have spent many an hour mooching down by the river.. And have sometimes felt like throwing myself in. It's opposite our house.
But if I walk my two crazy dogs down there and take a ball..well it's a whole different ball game.. So to speak. |

as few ppl mentioned shopping,.. I have always been amazed at the correlation between shopping and happiness, I always ponder on why I am so happy when I spend my money to buy things that I don't really need  |

Lock myself in the shed with a bottle of wine and several cigars and some menial jobs.
I find the hangover, cough and cut knuckles take my mind off whatever was pissing me off before
Failing that just spend an hour in the company of a child, children just have a fantastic outlook on life that rubs off on you |
