How do you get out of a never-ending mood?

[josieposy]

Like when you are just in a funk you can't seem to escape. What helps you?

Brought to you by the "post-grad, new job, sick-for-a-month, and now I don't give a shit about anything" erm....friend of a friend.....of a friend....

Get drunk and screw?

Sleep.

[pixy0stix]

But a crapton of makeup

[katietornado]

Exercise. Even a long walk outdoors can help a lot.

I'll just sit here and get the same advice.

I'm hoping zip lining on Sunday will help.

[MrsAxilla]

Smoke a bowl?

This would be amazing if it wasn't like 20 degrees right now. Hope it's fun!

Take the dogs for a walk. Or find some other way to get outside for some sunshine. Or sit in front of my light box if it isn't sunny.

[mbcdefg]

Buy stuff
Run (lol)
Take a trip - long weekend, overnight, day trip, something
Go to a cool restaurant
Drink
Get a haircut

[josieposy]

Well basically the only thing I have in the house at the moment is booze.

[cattledogkisses]

I had an awful day on Wednesday, and my guitar lesson helped me hit the reset button.

Spending time with friends is always a surefire way for me to feel better. Extra points if we're splitting a bottle of wine (or several).

[chedifuen]

Alone time always helps me decompress

[MrsAxilla]

Yoga

It won't be much above that when we do it Sunday -- plus it will probably be raining/sleeting/snowing.  I just keep thinking it will be such a rush.  I'm terrified and excited at the same time, lol.

I DO!  And I have a mean weed butter recipe, too!  Alas, I have cats, so you probably don't want my baked goods.  Don't worry, darlin!  I'll hook you up.

Oh, cats bother me not at all.  I have a dog that is otherwise known as a German Shedder.

Exercise, singing really obnoxious, belty songs in the car, venting to H, venting to another friend, watching some really good comedy, or watching something sad so I can have a really good, cathartic cry, therapy, active meditation, guided imagery, doodling/coloring/drawing/painting, wine, gin & tonics, 'shrooms.

[josieposy]

I did sign up to attend a local speaking event on birds next week.

Now I do actually like birds. I'm really just going for the "me" time.

[StrawberryBlondie]

I usually need to talk about it with someone. And then take my aggressions out with a meat mallet on a chicken breast.

[omgzombies]

First culprit I look at is how much I've been sleeping and how well I am eating. If sleep is an issue, it's all downhill from there for me. Sometimes I'll take some Benadryl for two or three nights in a row to help get me out of a bad sleep schedule. If sleep and diet aren't the culprit then I usually try to start doing something different. Take up a new class, learn a new skill, make a goal to try 5 new recipes. I need a little bit of a mix up every once in awhile. Something to get me excited again and a goal to work towards.

[Vespasia]

Hot bath with a cocktail and a good book.
