How to do when you feel like shit?

Fish, Chips and Beer is always a delight.

Watch a funny movie or take a bath.
If you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you <3

Feeling bad and depressed comes from the fact that nothing works well and/or you don't do much during the day so the best counter attack is to start doing some hard and challenging stuff, this way when you complete the tasks you will feel confident and full of gratitude once again, so your next step is what are some stuff you don't want to do but you know you should be doing, write them down on a list and start executing, few days later you will be on your mission once again full with positivity.

Some examples:
Start dating women
Go to the gym/ go for a run
Do something creative, or start producing content.. or start the business you have always thought about.. or just work on your craft, draw, write, whatever
Do some meditation, don't just lie on the bed but do a proper meditation

Without challenges we feel worthless and thats where the main problem stay, just start doing difficult things

EDIT:

I am amazed how most people here suggest things that will just make the things worse.
Don't watch porn, don't watch movies and netflix, don't drink alcohol and don't take drugs, don't play video games and don't binge eat.. all of those things that you use to escape reality are only going to make the things worse since you don't solve the root problem and then it will become even harder to brake the cycle.

The biggest take away is that you should start doing challenging things despite how you fill and eventually you will actually feel like doing those hard things, and guess what, when you do challenging stuff you wont feel like shit and depressed anymore.

Good luck!

Definitely spend some time outside, go for walk, a day off from electronics and some form of exercise gym, swimming etc

Meditation I guess.

I thank you all for your kind messages and try to make me feel good.

Except the guy joking with shitting story

If you are feeling lonely,
Hands are
Your friends.
Put them into your pockets.
(Ensure there is a hole in your pockets)

- William Shakespeare

Take next weekend off from the forum and go to the pub, meet some real people, get drunk, talk some shit, make breakfast to a 35-40 year old single mom, your going to love it when you close her door behind you, when you leave.

Fried fish with some lemon squeeze
You should try it

go for a run, there you'll realize your physical state is more screwed than your mental state, and you'll stop being sad.

I feel down since 1 week. Bad thoughts, feeling lonely.

How do you deal with these feelings? Do you have a process?

Spend time with family. If that is not possible, spend time with little kids in neighbourhood.

A lot of great advice here. I want to also chime in that I think modern society has falsely painted a picture of life that is 100% happy. Media is fake, economy is fake, and we're constantly blasted with an indiscernible mix fake/real success via Instagram, Twitter or heck, even marketing forums. Before technology and the global dominance of big pharma people just accepted that some days you feel up and some days you feel down, and that was the natural ebb and flow of the human experience.

I'm not saying there's a time and place for concern, like if you feel down all the time, but such emotions seem to have become less frightening to me after I just accepted that they were a natural part of me and that I should just experience them for what they're worth. Often times immediately after feeling down I have a new appreciation for the beauty in my life which makes the temporary blues somewhat rewarding in the end.

I go watch amazon prime video or go shit in toilet. All other times I am feeling high.

On which floor are you feeling down ? If ground floor, then simply go to 1st floor : If 1st floor, then simply go to 2nd floor. What's the confusion about ? Or is common sense not so common ? (tit for tat ?)

I'm running into this trap as well sometimes. Two things I do when I have this feeling:

1. Swiping on Tinder: For some reason this makes me feel better, not even chatting just reading bios.. there are some funny girls,
2. Realizing that it's only in my head and that it can change in no time

I drink. Fun fact, I am drinking rn because i feel like shit.

Actually to wake me up from sleep I gamble on Entropia Universe everyday morning.

There are people dying because of war or hungry. There are people that wanted to live and passed away. So you should be grateful and not feel bad. You should see your life into this perspective when you are down

Hire a hooker?

You can also play games, go to the gym, workout, cook food, eat and have a beer with some buddies (or the hooker you paid?)

Could work but then..


Not an universal solution, specially if you love your wife/girl friend/boyfriend/husband.

Still you will feel shit. Not about sex.
