Oh that got so stuck in my head the first time I heard it!

On the music side, I listen to Mika when I'm down. I listen to his upbeat songs to feel better, and his sadder songs if I feel like wallowing in my depression.

On the video side, I watch Pushing Daisies when I'm depressed and want to feel better. It's such a sweet show that brings out my sentimental side.

I like to watch Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie's sketches when I feel down. That or listen to music. I've found classical music calms me down, and listening to a trad Irish station (liveIreland) perks me up. Can't be sad listening to a jig.

I don't know why but I love watching Bill Hicks rant on when I'm in a bad mood.

I have several cd's that I listen to when I'm most down but Linda Perry is my fav. to listen to when things get really bad.

When I'm down I flip on comedy central and try to cheer up. After a few hours of funny t.v. things start to feel better. If not I'll listen to Linkin Park for some reason most of their songs sounds like they are singing about S.A or at least some very emotional conflict. Which makes me feel like I'm not so alone in my issues.

ShyFX · 09-29-2009, 09:04 AM

I watch a lot of stand up comedy, movies (comedies), or just zone out to some hard or soft music.

ostorozhno · 09-29-2009, 07:57 PM

I like to listen to upbeat music like Apparatschik and Zveri.

StayStrong · 10-02-2009, 05:25 AM

Listen to Bob Marley "we can carry on"

Watch SA videos on youtube.

Work out

Enjoy a good meal or a nice beverage

Rent a movie or a game.

Mello · 10-02-2009, 06:34 AM

I listen to depressing music, pop rock, alternative rock, sad piano music, stuff like that

Braxietel · 10-02-2009, 07:00 AM

I listen to Muse when I'm depressed and with a bit of luck it burns out into anger and finally normality.

I second that, Fry and Laurie clips really cheer me up too

especially the one you linked to. Also this guitar transcription of the Beatles "Here comes the sun" really helps to lighten my mood.

When I feel down I usually go watch Supernatural. I love this show.

And if I can't watch tv I listen to Mika.

strawberryjulius · 10-06-2009, 03:15 AM

Very Melon

Chichi Wo Moge

And anything by Gorilla Biscuits

fictionz · 10-07-2009, 12:02 AM

I would watch some of my fav scenes (funny, amusing ones usually) from my fav Japanese or Korean dramas. lol, just have a thing for them. cracks me up, which is good enough.

itdoesntmatter · 10-21-2009, 11:36 AM

The Golden Girls takes off some of my stress. I don't even need to watch them, as long as I can hear Rose's of Sophia's voice or whoever, my stress level goes down.

secretlyshecries · 10-25-2009, 06:56 AM

Muse will always put me in a better mood, without fail. Considering some of the songs are about apocalypses and not-so-happy things, you wouldn't think this would be so, lol.

fruit loop · 10-25-2009, 11:57 AM

ooo well i love to listen to Fleetwood Mac when im feeling down (: but to watch I love to watch being erica ^.^
