Sometimes life kicks me in the nuts, and it's hard to stand up but we have to, right? I mean, the good life isn't the one without suffering, it's the one where it contributes to our development as human beings. When I'm feeling down, a walk through the busy city streets really helps. It kind of reminds me that everything's still in its place and the Earth is still spinning. It clears my head. However, I was wondering - how do you deal with sadness? I'm sure there are other ways to bring back a smile on your face, so it would be interesting to hear yours!

No matter where you are, put your earphones/headphones on and listen to music. Block out everything around you and just relax. (even if you feel like exploding)

Honestly, sadness is something i'm pretty used to. I'm not very social, and don't have a great relationship with my family. I spend most of my time alone, and that's about it.
To deal with sadness, i create things. Fantasy creatures, ancient machines, hats for my ball python. It's always a great feeling, making something cool. Even if it's an idea on a flashdrive, it's still nice.

I have a really strange way to cope with sadness. I create when I'm sad. Whether it is a new art project or a video for my crazy YouTube channel and if I don't like it I trash it. This has helped a lot with my anxiety and depression.

If I get sad I go upstairs and hug my unicorns. they are so big and fluffy. It helps because I don't need to talk I just hug. When I am ready I go tell my mum.

It's my constant fight. I have tried everything that I found sane: writing, sharing my pain, meeting with friends, surfing the net, caring for my flowers, reading, watching movies, working till late at the office, spending time in the nature by taking long walks in the forest, going to dance classes... Honestly, I thought a lot about the cause of my sadness and what could help in overcoming it. My sadness is unsolvable, totally influenced by external factors, which I can't change.

What I do is I curl up in my blanket with my cat or a stuffed animal and try to think of happy things, but sometimes I just cry it all out and start reading a book or I go do something else (Like watching funny videos on Youtube) I hope this helps you, or anyone who needs some help with it :)

I know this is going to sound cliche, but music is my shield, my sadness shield. When that. Doesn't work I usually do a lot of daydreaming to get away from here, I can do anything, I can fly I can rule the world. I us d to think the future was dark and a swirling abyss of terror, but after my freind killed himself, I gained some knowledge that the future isn't dark, the future is bright and filled with neat things.

Do what makes you happy!
I don't want to sound pessimistic, but in life, everyone has to suffer, go through pain, tears and grief.
Binge and indulge on what gives you happiness. Art, books, music, singing, dance, sports, shopping, television, gardening, yoga, walking, videogames...
Or talking! Having a friend, family member or even a stranger. A comforting hand, ear and heart can make a world of difference.
Most importantly, think positively and see the bright side. Stay Happy!

I kinda just draw my way out! I know it sounds weird but when i'm sad I put on my tunes and pull out my sketchbook and create. I manage to deal with my sadness and I end up creating a little trophy to display to myself saying "You can do this. Its going to be okay. Stay strong and don't forget to take care of yourself".
I hope whoever reads this is able to take something away from it!!
Much love!!

I take antidepressants. I have to otherwise the sadness becomes a sorrow so overwhelming that it will overtake me, spiraling me down into a pit of despair so deep that not even the light of the sun can reach me. That's just me of course. I call them my Happy Pills.

I watch Hogan's Heroes. I grew up with that show on DVD and it's comforting for me to watch something familiar to distract me.

Sadness is a natural response to loss, including negative or undesirable outcomes. Loss can include many things such as the death of a loved one or the loss of self-identity or material possessions
Sadness is not the same as depression, although it may be a symptom of depression. Since the two terms are often incorrectly used, it's important to understand key differences.
Live with your loved ones and don't think to much. Don't mind if someone tells you something. Spend time in parks.

When ever I feel sad or depressed I go home early from work. I cook a yummy dish which I have never cooked before. It really takes off my mind from the other depressing stuff while concentrating on the recipe and procedure. Then I watch an interesting action or sci-fiction movie while eating it on my bed. I forget everything else happening around me and get myself involved in the movie. I eat until my stomach could'nt accumulate anymore. Then I just relax without thinking about anything.
