We all get a little blue sometimes. It just happens. When I'm feeling down I like to sing "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah". I really do. I just brightens up my day. What do you Escapists do when you're feeling sad?

It seems listening to Parade intently always cheers me up, oddly. I'll find it.

I keep doing what I am doing. Later i'll probably shut myself up in my room and just stay in there for hours on end thinking about stuff that is probably unhealthy to think about (NOT suicide).

I think if I sang Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah to make myself feel happy I would die from the violent cringing it would force me into.

I usually just play games, watch tv shows I really like, listen to calm music like Elbow, they really know how to make calming music that gradually lifts your spirits. I also like to think about why I'm sad and formulate a solution.

I look at Courage Wolf posters.

Thank you, Courage Wolf. *Sniff* Thank you.

Well when Im in a day that's gray and lonely, I just stick out my chin and grin and say . . . .The sun will come out tomorrow. Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow, there will be sun. Oh tomorrow tomorrow I'll love ya tomorrow. Your only a day away.


Either that or vicodin . . . .

I'm sad pretty much all the time. But when I'm feeling particularly horrible I will do a few things.
- Play my various instruments.
- Sit on the Escapist forums, just like I'm doing now.
- Watch various funny videos on YouTube and elsewhere.
- Play some video games.

It depends on why I'm sad.

The all around cure seems to be sleep though.

When I left my last girlfriend I stayed in bed for days from guilt, dreaming it away.

The only other 'Band-aid' seems to be certain friends, and that doesn't always work.

Isn't it even more sad to realize that there's almost no escape from something that will continue to happen for the rest of your life, slowly wearing you down until life finally leaves your body and you ascend to (hopefully) eternal happiness?

Yeah, I'm just a bowl of peaches aren't I?

I smoke a joint and then watch porn. Nothing is a better cure for sadness than that.

What? At least I'm being honest....
You sir are truly a god among men. Teach us your ways and enlighten us.

I listen to Cancer Bats and carry on with what I'm meant to be doing. If it doesn't subside by the evening I drink, that usually does it until the next day.

Try singing my song. I know it sounds goofy and dumb, but it really works.

How did you ninja me in nearly every aspect that I do? Are you my clone which is a robot?
Anyways, nice avatar, I always liked Rei.

Because we are actually the same. Didn't you know? ;P

Thanks, by the way :)
