Hi guys,

Just wondering how you guys cope with real-life issues and emotions such as anger, sadness etc?
I usually try to watch a comedy or take shower to (try) enlightening my mood. I also started to read "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy".
So how do you cope with these issues?

I am someone really calm and I don't let my emotion being too intrusive ....

As a person who suffers from Depression and Axiety disorders, I've found that surrounding myself in an almost suffocating amount of joyus atmosphere always cheers me up. however it doesnt work for all moods

Sad=watch mlp, I simply cannot stop myself from smiling
angry= listen to sad music to change moods, then watch mlp, Or listen to "uproaring" music and get "amped up" to play a Shooter like BF3 to "blow off" the steam

Anyother moods that you have in mind?

Death, disease -> Chocolate, movies, TV shows and prescription drugs.

Love issues -> Alcohol, drugs and hookers.

For everything else -> Work!

Don't read self-help stuff, it wont help in the long run, plus the vast majority is just bullshit.

+1 Movies,chocolate and work.
Keep yourself busy with something..


If you are angry.. play games etc.

Eating? I don't think that it will fix anything. But playing game is a nice idea, it will use your brain and spirit for something different

Sometimes crying and shouting can help you pulling out all the negativity you keep inside.

I'm a really shy and silent guy so it happens rarely to me but it makes me feel  better.

I find running works well. If I'm stressed, I put in a few miles and it does wonders.

What's wrong with having emotions?

Healthiest thing to do is to swallow your emotions. It'll cause a pain in your gut the first few times because your body doesn't want to swallow your emotions, so just go ahead and swallow that, too. You'll eventually develop a kind of emotional tolerance where you stop feeling, which is when you'll want to find a reputable cocaine dealer. Some people go ahead and get the cocaine first -- big mistake.

Scream all anger out. It really helps to calm you down. Do not try to hide your anger, it does not work.

A lot of work, takes my mind of those things.

True!

as I sad or feel not good run away from home and have very long walk no person near me just alone after few moments calm and feel good  ;)

I play games for a hobbie, but playing games with friends is always good to deal with anger. It gets your attention on the game, and yo ucan get some laughs together with your friends.
To deal with sadness I find myself looking to meet up with some of my best friends to drink a beer and talk, it never loses the fun of doing it.

If it's nothing I can do anything about then I usually just watch something that will make me happy etc. if it's something I can fix then I normally rage at it and end up fixing it somehow after working on it awhile.

Live in that state for a while then being mad and change my mind.

Play some FPS game and kill some people..

uhm, I am guessing that isn't exactly the healthiest thing to do

music is also a good one! what is MLP actually?

Well I will find out in a month or so!


nothing, its healthy ofcourse. But to much of anything and it becomes unhealthy

there are quite some good tips here :) wouldn't advise anyone though to muffle your emotions away

We are all different, these "advice" are just the reflections of other people experience, you need to make your own path and discover what works for you, there's no such think as a magic formula...

Perhaps try smoking weed or a moderate psychedelic.  When I battled depression, was suicidal, cannabis gave me a new perspective on life.

Using psychiatrist service may help if the emotional issues are really hurting your life or job. Otherwise, just dont worry about this

What kind of issues are you talking about? Relationship?

Just in general, relationships is part of it.

I used to get really depressed when I was a teenager, and had a lot of tantrums and outbursts; I would lash out at people and be really passive aggressive.

Nowadays I've learned how to center my emotional energy and use it to fuel my work; it's largely expended through writing and philosophy, and other times into art and music.  Whenever I experience an intense emotion (and I do, a lot), instead of dwelling on the feeling, I put it to work, and I feel much better once the emotion passes.

Meditate.  Remember, this too, shall pass.

(Sometimes, trance music helps me down that rabbit hole.)

dont have any emotioonal issues :D

I smoke a lot of weed. A lot. I also smoke cigarettes, unfortunately -- would like to quit eventually, but they certainly help in a pinch when dealing with high stress levels.
