So I'm feeling low depressed and shitty. My lovley group of friends decided I'm not worth their time on a Friday when I need some friendly support, brilliant. So my question is what do u do when u are feeling depressed or low or blue to cheer yourself up? Really need to lift this mood and any suggestions would be nice x

@FissionChips, FWR?

I put on comfy clothes/pjs and either watch a film or some tat on tv. Alternatively I'll blast some music and make myself sing along - this often leads to getting up and having a dance. Musical soundtracks work well!

For the days when I can't even get out of bed, I head to Pinterest and start pinning things that make me happy - positive quotes, funny cat pictures, self help ideas, dream house inspiration etc.

If I have energy, I'll head out for a walk to clear my head

Hope you find something that works for you and you feel better soon!

Today I felt the walks closing in on the way home from work. I pulled into a secluded lay-by, had a good cry and shouted to myself about everything I feel is shit in my life (basically everything except my marriage). Then, after I'd stopped yelling and cried it out, I turned the music up, had a good sing and drove home for some food and a cuddle with the cat. Everything's still shit, but I don't feel as overwhelmed.

Exactly what fairycakesarefr33 said! Good music gets it out of my system!

I always head to the beach with the dog. I find breathing in the sea air and just watching and listening to the waves, gives me the boost I need. Even in winter.
