Imagine if you will...that you just had a very difficult day. Wether it be at work...with family...kids...pets....your SO..... deciding which bills get paid and which don't. What ever the cause someone or something pushed all your buttons and stepped on your last nerve.
How do you find your happy stooopid self again? Do you excercise.....drink....meditate... scrub clean the bathroom and inhale deeply the fumes... write in a journal....call a freind and vent... What works for you. FYI I needed to and did all of the above so I'm good and stoopid now.

It's usually cleaning something, or cooking. If it happens at work and I can't leave, I plug in my ear-phones, turn my mobile off, and work on one of my boring, repetitive tasks which requires concentration.

Chocolate works for me.

Exercise - either yoga or walking with my ipod and the music going. Surprisingly weeding is better for me than housework. Gets out frustration and I have a nice weed-free flowerbed to look at.

If it's something that makes me angry then I go to the gym for a few hours.
If it's something that makes me sad then I take the phone off the hook, close the curtains and go to bed.

That works for me - and going out and petting all the horses and then having them all follow me when I turn to walk away.....

Chemical therapy is always good especially when taken in good company. Fantasy treatment of the offending person or situation also works.

I am trying to learn how to do this myself. Usually if I am at work, I am busy enough so that I don't dwell on personal issues. The trouble comes when I have personal problems AND the day at work turns out lousy. Then I am pretty much up the creek-sans paddle.

I find that my emotions go through natural changes: sad, angry, accepting, worried, tolerant...round and round. Truly, lasting sadness is a choice. It is hard to do, but you can make yourself not sad, not angry.... Making yourself happy is a whole other ball of wax.

The best therapy for me is to talk to a friend. Unfortunately, I don't have that many people with whom I can vent about any topic. Most of my friends are casual and would press the "TMI" button on me before I could really get it all out.

I suppose, in the end, that we only have ourselves upon which to rely.

Wish I had a better answer for you.
