How do you get when you feel very down?

@5thApprentice Haha i know what you mean, i like listening to sombre and melancholic music as well, and find it to only improve my mood then.

@soulsrespite I agree that supressing is not the way to go. I try my best to deal with whatever it is within myself, and it usually just takes a while for the worst to clear. It's also more a matter of not seeing much point in sharing, since it would have to be a rare person to be able to relate in some way to it, and even then i don't expect others to have the solutions for something specific. That being said sharing with the right person is a good thing i'd say.

I understand. I also think the only real way someone would truly understand is if they have experienced something similar or they have been in the same exact situation.

To answer your question for myself, I usually just go into solitude until I process it or just choose not to care about it, until it comes back out again. @Axelerator

@soulsrespite Exactly, and even then it would never be 100%, but still a rare opportunity.

Similar although i'm sure different as well, but i can relate to the solitude part in my own way.

@LithiumDrop Fair enough, most important thing is figuring out what works best for you, and it sounds like you have :)

@Effloresce Sounds like you got it down to a Mantra now :)

@Axelerator No no, I just don't want to spew it out here & besides, I don't do much on SW when I'm down so there's also no point being here

@wackidywack Fair enough and i can understand why you might feel like that. And i respect the way of doing it :)

@Axelerator Thanks :)

I don't let sadness ruin my day

@SW-User That's good, how do you manage it then?

Sw is one of my distractions and the kids (my cousins and his friends) idk. I just dont let it bother me. It's your mindset.
