What is your preferred strategy when you get the blues? |
|
In other words, how do you personally get yourself back in balance when you feel low... other than meds.
I'll go one of 3 routes: Jog, glass of wine & some good tunes, or do some side-work I've been putting off (organization does wonders).
I'm not big on the meds trip.

5. A long walk, or loud music and exercise. |

A good old cry sometimes helps me too.

12. listen to music, read a good book |
|
or if all else fails, pull an all-nighter. At some point all of your troubles fade before the mountain of fatigue. You only have one problem, you are exhausted, and that is easily solved by going to bed.
