I try my best :D
I do seem to spend a lot of my time helping friends with their problems.

I find listening to some nice music (obviously dependent on what you like) helps a lot, chilled rock music and trance for me. Going out for some fresh air and a long walk. A long bike ride helps loads when I've got my bike on one piece too!

It's had at times, try not to let it get you down. There is always someone who will listen to your problems and help you out :)
 
alcohol and laughter have helped me deal with my grandfather passing today.

very sad , and very uplifting at times with the family.
 
My mate watches Jeremy Kyle coz he feels better afterwards after laughing at all the chavs.

To a degree, but often you have to let it get that bad for it to get better.

Only upon hitting rock bottom can you truly know yourself and what you're capable of. Once you've been there, the thought of going back there doesn't feel so bad, but then again that may simply be because you switch off. True, you're never the same person afterwards; bitter and cold. But it would be wrong to assume that's all you are. Cynics are only ever idealists at heart.

Word of warning:

  • Alcohol doesn't work, it only ever makes things worse. It isn't helping you get your emotion out, you only think it does.
  • Drugs can help, but you're playing with fire. What I mean by this is that sometimes altering your perspective (be that highs or lows) can help you re-evaluate things.
  • Music is good as it helps you find expression. However, music is also very powerful at invoking emotion. You can literally find yourself escaping to music only to find your mood being reinforced.
  • Sex is all well and good, but it is morally wrong to use people for your own gain. Again, don't play with fire.

The best thing anyone can do is not to shy away from their emotions or ignore them. If they're destructive, let them out in a sensible way or turn them into something constructive. Surround yourself (although I understand this isn't always possible) with a support network and people who care. If someone ever comes to you looking for answers or help, do not shun them. You never know when you'll be the one in their position. It is useless to fight against what is in our nature and that's to console and to be validated.

"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes but in having new eyes." - Marcel Proust.

Reassess and don't play second fiddle. Sometimes doing just what to you want is what you need.

I generally find exercise of some sort tends to help me, going out for a run or long walk gives me a chance to think about things and yet not really think either. The process of doing something physically exhausting means that I'm not fully concentrating on whatever the problem is but it's still mulling over and solutions will usually come to me if there is one, if there isn't then I've released endorphins by exercising so feel better from that.

It's been like that for me for past few weeks, I'm pulling on through staying positive. But I need more motivation. Tired Of Uni, Parents Ill, just feel really alone sometimes. :(
