discussion What do y'all do when you're down?

[KnightOfAllRealms]

I read SciFi novels because 90% of them are terribly Dystopian and depressing that I immediately feel better about the life I'm currently leading. 

 

Read two 700 page SciFi over the weekend and I'm actually feeling comforted and grateful that I live in a cozy timeline with minimal harm to me or my loved ones. 

 

What about y'all?

I do this everyday 

[sugarysunflower]

[shookspeare]

I'll usually lift weights for 30 mins or so, take a shower, and force myself to go outside. Usually works well even if I really don't want to do any of that in the moment

[terrorblade]

[Pheromosa]

Eat and masturbate ferociously 

[ariananext]

shower, light a candle and relax doing things I like

[TheFameCurse]

Work out, music, drink, dance when by myself.

being down is a social construct!

[XxxKatyCatxxX]

I listen to my playlist by Katy that have: Lost, I'm Still Breathing, Pearl, Double Rainbow, By the Grace of God, This Moment, Witness, Cry About It Later, Teary Eyes and Only Love.

Meditate, read classic novels, watch ASMR videos. 

[Zaynsus]

I sleep

[kandicha]

I go for a run… the pain of the run makes me forget about the pain of my life and then I feel much better afterwards.

Write.

 

It's the best way I can release my emotions.

 

Especially being miserable with my PhD rn, it's the best way I'm able to escape the toxic **** I deal with daily.

[FameFatale]

Put down my phone and walk outside, clean the house with music blasting, anything to keep busy. 

[wish]

Take a walk

Shower

Write

Trying to get into exercise! How did you start? I'm basically a tall gay with noodle arms/legs lol I would argue I have good stamina (I can walk/hike, no problem), however, I always struggled with upper body strength (like weightlifting/benching).

Start with something simple like walking in the park for 20 minutes. Gradually, turn your walking exercise to running/jogging for 20 minutes. Do this everyday if you could. Once you get used to it, do simple exercise like weightlifting (start with 3 kg dumbbell) and push ups/ sit ups. Once you are comfortable, gradually opt for something more strenuous.
