86871
Sadness is an emotion that generally accompany's loss. It sometimes overcomes us especially when we lose a love one or something we really like.  Sometimes we need to grieve for a while then let go of the loss and move on.  For most people this happens naturally with time. For others they may require assistance.  \n\nThe best thing for the blues is spending lots of fun times with friends.\n\nOtherwise rearrange your room. \n\nGo shoe shopping.\n\nGo to a restuarant you always wanted to with friends.  \n\nJoin the track team and chase those blues away or better yet join a choir, singing is great cure here. whatever you do just be with lots of people.

It takes time to get over a love relationship.  Some people say that it takes half the time you were involved to get over it.  The best thing is to just talk it out with friends, or maybe a professional counselor.  It's a process, getting over a broken heart, not an event.  It's not something that you just wake up the next day and say, "I'm over it".  I found getting involved with new friends, or interests took my mind away from my sadness.  \nI'm sorry to hear that you are hurting, I hope that you can find some support and distraction soon.  It won't always be like this.  Some day in the future you will look back at this and realize that it wasn't a good relationship for you.

The first thing to do is try distracting yourself from the depressing moment. Play a game, go out, see a movie, put some music on and chill, take a hot shower, listen to music, burn some incense with candle light, or do what makes you happy in a healthy manner. If this does not work then you will have to challenge your thinking. \n\nFor every main negative thought you have you will have to come up with a stronger balanced thought. To get to the balanced thought you will have to find evidence for the negative thought and evidence against the negative thought. This will lead to better clearer thinking. You will need to write this stuff out so you can visually see what your thinking. Hope this helps. Get a workbook like Mind over Mood and do the exercises because that helps too.

You are as good as anyone else ,so don't feel others are better than you because you feel things more deeply than they do.Do not try to stifle these feelings. Talk to your close friends and your parents about it . Even if they do not have a fast answer that will feel good to you. They will have some ideas and ask them to share their feelings on things and why they feel about those things.Laughter is a good medicine. Watch a funny movie. Develop a sense of humor as you go thru life humor will help you in the most tragic events,believe me I know. Listen to music and take up a musical instrument, music is very soothing and will also help you !! meow!!! Did you laugh ??lol. Good luck and be well !!

If this happened to you, I'm really sorry. Allow yourself to grieve - that is the best thing you can do. Accept the fact that you are sad and don't try to hide it. You have every right to feel sad, angry, sick - whatever it is you feel. Just know that with each passing day, it will get better and you will learn to cope. You will never stop missing that person, but the thoughts of grief will slowly be replaced with fond memories.

Stop feeling sorry for yourself and start taking care of yourself. Why should anyone have to help you when you can help yourself? \n\nWAKE UP and take a look around you! Life can be very unkind, and unless you hit back and make the most of it (without depending on the help of others) you are going to be stuck in a "miserable" life.

If you want to forget your sadness temporarily,alcohol,hanging out wih friends and keping yourself busy are some ways to do it. But if you want happiness for the rest of your life,just put God in the center of your life. Sure, you will still have times when you will feel so down and sad but if you trust God enough,you'll see that everthing will fall into place.

I am very sorry to hear that you had a bad day. Just remember you are not alone we all get them from time to time.  Now you can draw comfort in knowing that it is over. Make a nice cup of tea and put on a good movie to cheer you, and just relax.

Why are you sad? Is something bothering you? Seems like you need to talk to someone.Sad songs are okay to listen to. But if you are crying all the time, then there is an underlying condition. Please confide in a friend or parent. Things will get better. Talk to someone and get your feelings out in the open. Good luck, sweetie.

It's like a death. You grieve and eventually you move on. \nTime heals all wounds.\n\nOne day you will look back and it won't hurt as much. Just keep busy, get out and be with people so you won't get as depressed.

Take a deep breath and grieve. then start with the small stuff. pay a bill or dust a piece of furniture. then see how you feel. try doing just one thing a day until you feel you can handle more.

i recently went through something similar to this myself. i know you probally feel horribly depressed right now, and thats because you're heartbroken. i can tell you that eventually the pain does go away...take some time to grieve and then try to forget about him. someone once gave me a piece of advise that really helped me:\n\nbeing heart broken is like being in the dark.... and everytime you think your getting close to the light switch you just stub your toes. and you have to start all over again. but there is a light switch there. it might take a little bit to find it. but one day you will get there......... it might take awhile to get over this guy... but always remember... through all those stubed toes there is a lightswitch

I'm very sorry for your losses. Allow yourself to grieve, even if you have to be strong for everyone else. Find someone you can talk about it with, even if they only listen. Find a friend to talk to that has lost someone and can understand how you are feeling. You could also find an online chat for people dealing with a loss. I hope things get better.

Make sure you're taking care of yourself.  Do some self care, whether your a guy or girl, it can help you feel better.  Get your hair cut, take a long bath, soak your feet, use some lotion on your dry skin, better yet, get a massage!  Take time to let yourself relax and help yourself to realize that you are worth taking care of yourself.  If you take care of things on the outside, you'll feel better on the inside.\n\nYour depression could be seasonal.  Think about spending time outside when it's sunny, if it's ever sunny this time of year.  You could also purchase a full spectrum light bulb at a health food store.  They're usually about seven dollars, but they are so worth it!\n\nMake sure you have someone to talk to.  Try to talk out your problems, but also develope positive friendships.  Get out and do something, even if it's just taking a walk.\n\nTry to control your thought patterns.  It's easy to get in a rut of thinking bad thoughts about yourself and thinking about making bad decisions to hurt yourself.  Feed yourself positive thoughts instead, even if you have to force them at first.\n\nGood luck with everything, being depressed is not fun at all, especially if you've been feeling this way for a long time.  Just remember that you have to be proactive about your mental health.  Don't let yourself lie around and cry all day.  You've cried and moped enough, it's time to try to make yourself feel better!\n\nPS make sure you're eating good food.  Lots of veggies, maybe think about taking vitamin suplements or talking to an herbal specialist.

the best way to deal with the grief is to allow yourself plenty of time to heal.  There's no easy way to make it stop hurting, but just take one day at a time, remember how great you are and that you deserve better.  In time things will get better.  Good luck!
