how do you cope with bad days?

[Damniel]

Take your mind off of things. But don't bottle up all your feelings, it's okay to cry every once in a while. Just don't let the negative weigh you down, your haters are your motivators!!!

 

[riummi]

I distract myself by watching funny shows (and eating) or doing a face mask. Sometimes I rant to my friends or sister - maybe even just go running while listening to some music. Crying is fine too if you really need to.

 

[Crash]

i do my best to just push through them until i get home, and then i'll put on a movie or read a book and try to distract myself. i try to continuously tell myself to keep going, as sometimes that's all you can really do.​

 

[santoyo.bay]

I turn up my music really loud, complain to my best friend, and cry?.and repeat

 

[enchilada]

i put on some music and chill with my friends johnnie walker and jose cuervo

I'm terrible with emotions because my family just avoids them I've realized... so I've had to confront issues on my own, I try to separate myself from the world completely by coming on here or animal crossing or anything! My one friend kinda turned on me so its been sorta lonely, so I've been focusing on my future and making money at work... but that isn't panning out too well either! I listen to a lot of Adele and it makes me feel better lol

 

[MintySky]

I take my mind off it and do something else or I try to tell my self that it is not as bad as it seems.

 

[wassop]

i put on music and go to sleep

distract yourself, do things that take your mind off of the stress or talk to a good friend. usually telling someone about it will make you feel better - hopefully you have some empathetic friends that are good listeners

every day is pretty bad for me . luv mental illness hahah

i dont really deal with it?? i avoid doing stuff that i know will make it worse and sometimes i just gotta suffer through it.

I try to distract myself....or I just go to sleep to be honest (providing I don't have to be at work).
I hate days where I'm so down I don't want to get up....don't really have much option most of the time though fortunately

 

[Alienfish]

Listen to music I love to death already.. and try distracting myself from bad things the most I can.. playing games, talking to friends.. watching a film maybe

 

[chronic]

Bad days I do not believe in, necessarily. Though when the lows are lowest I frequently turn to music.

Obtaining a good bass sound is KEY. To lose track of time and come into full contact with the body... Something happens, to become elsewhere when loud music surrounds you with it's potent energy.

Recharging the core__ Exercise is crucial. I NEED motion. Nothing compares.

 

[strawberrywine]

Lie down on my bed and listen to some music usually, but if that doesn't work I just sleep

 

[sakuracrossing]

If I am having a bad day, I normally will try first to have a nice shower or bath. Then I decide to try and force myself to go outside even for thirty seconds to get fresh air.

I try and make myself as comfortable as possible. Make a blanket fort on the couch with some pillows/plushies. Get my favorite drink (tea or coffee, capri-sun), try to get some good food (mac and cheese is my go to or if I am lazy ramen), and then just relax with animal crossing or watching some of my favorite shows or movies. (FRIENDS/ Studio Ghibli films). I

Sometimes I feel like calling a friend and othertimes I don't. If you have a good friend to talk to that always helps.
Make sure you stay hydrated and put food in your tummy.

every day is terrible so i play games and i win

 

[Albuns]

I sit down or stand, close my eyes, take a deep breath, and think about how and why I've been able to do this at this very place and time. Why it was important that I did what I did, or for what reason I had for doing so.

 

[Kaziga]

If I'm going to be completely honest, every day for me is terrible. I try to make the most out of every day but I'm just an overall unhappy person with life as it is at the moment.
But to deal with all that on a day to day basis is dependent on that day.

• If it's because of school that I'm unhappy, I usually come straight home afterwards, pig out on fast food for one meal (and I usually don't eat the next day to fast all that **** out of my body), watch horror movies and play my video games.
• If it's because of work that I'm unhappy, I usually take my time coming home and listen to my favorite music in the car, and take a nice hot shower once I get home, and then usually read over chapters for school or a book I'm reading, then play on my ds until I fall asleep.
• If it's been a day where I've just been at home but everything is just pissing me off, I usually just watch crime shows or movies or sometimes youtube videos and play on my ds, all day.

This probably wasn't very helpful, but if it was. yay. o/

Make a change of pace.

 

[CuteYuYu]

I either distract myself with music/ games or sleep it off!

I used to cry, but I had so many bad days that I'm used to it and just stopped caring. So when I have a bad day now, I just think, whatever shet happens and try to forget about it.

Also, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger yis~
