What's your cure for the blues?

A walk can be nice to think about things and put stuff back into perspective.

Gumbyman

I crank on some really good music really loud and sit down and just listen for about a half hour or so. A good sound system helps.

Merrick

For me, very loud music and a really nice sandwich is enough.

pyramuid man

I normally listen to some good house music or something like the editors or something like that. Nice and loud also. As Gumby said. This is the best way to do it I find

biko

Drive and a nice meal

Watch an episode or 7 of your favourite comedy show

Alcohol...and a good night out with loads of friends.

Doing something with my mates, be it a game of Pes or a few pints!

(Headphones && ipod) + (couch || washing up || walk) = happy out

Heading out for a cycle is a great way to get the happy chemicals to work also.

Yeah giving the house a clean and listening to some good music does it for me aswell actually.

Go for a drive, head to the gym, do some photoshopping, buy something on ebay..

isn't this what hobbies are for?

I play something dumb and shooty on my pc, Call of Duty 2 being the current one.

Honestly, after you've shot a couple of hundred nazis you'll start to feel better.

Failing that, music. Louder the better.

A nice long cycle by the coast.
Portmarnock is lovely this time of year

browse /b/ in 4chan and see just how much sadder some people are than me.

actually nah, i go for a stroll, listen to some grizzly bear, play some games, whatever, i dont have a set cure.

Depends really what kind of blues I got. Queen (live wimbely album) usually gets me in a jolly mood, same goes for some classic Metallica. A good sound system makes the difference.

Good comedy shows too like Police Squad!, South Park, or That 70's Show.

And if I feel like killing something I slap on a good shoot 'em up.

Hmm, really my laptop is the source of all my blues cures, I'd be a depressing cúnt without it.

Hanging around a car licence test centre - and when people come out after doing their test ask them if they passed or failed.

(sometimes you can have a bet with yourself just by the look on their face).

Nothing like the feeling of knowing your better than somebody else.
If they failed you can say - enjoy the wait to do it again - holds hand up to forehead and makes an L shape

Ishmael

Playing Guitar over a nice bluesy song or backing track. So easy and fun.

HammerHeadGym

When I get the blues, I turn to the greens. Bongs for preference.

Jrembin

Zoloft

thebaz

I find alcohol and bed make the blues worse
excersise is good, i also find since taking up photography going out snapping something different with the camera helps .... sad music is good too (jeff buckley/ leonard cohen / bob dylan) -- and communicating with people is positive


Oh forgot ---

30mins watching a documentary about people much less fortunate than yourself. that puts things into perspective

a good ride. nuff said.

listening to your fave album very loud. as said before. brushes off the cobwebs

a fast drive. gets the adrenaline pumping

some 1:1 playtime with young kids preferably involving some conversation about things they dont fully understand. borrow them if you dont have them yourself. kids never cease to amaze me and make me feel happy.

Caliden

Playing Feeder - Love Pollution really loud and singing along usually puts me into instant happy mode.
Ahhhh even thinking about listening to it makes me happy.

Driving , shopping or sex!

ladylorenzo

Curlin up into the BF's pit on the couch and watching Starsky & Hutch (the movie)...works every time!:) (sad..i know!!)

J.S. Pill

I play the Blues.

If its a really bad hangover or come down you can't beat video games!

The Hill Billy

In addition to a few pints, I'd have to agree with CSG (apart from the driving & the shopping :rolleyes:), plus good music, playing with my 2 boys, or going fishing.

Archeron

I dont get the blues, I'm whats been referred to before as "maniacally happy". And even when I heard that, I still just grinned back at them.

Any kind of phsyical activity always gets me back on track to be honest.

Juat chilling with my girlfriend always makes the world seem a little bit better as well.
