You had a bad day

Seraphim

Just wondering what people do when they have a bad day to cheer themselves up or make themselves feel better?

Not that im having a bad day mind you, just curious. You're tired and frustrated, nothing went right today and you're feeling like cack. What do you do?

Things make me sleepy.

So, if I had a bad day, I'd probably sleep it off.

In the days of being a kafir-scum, I would setlle down with friends (real people, not the TV show) and have a big spliff.

It made me feel better for about half an hour, then I felt 'meh' and lazy. In the morning I felt much worse (because I'd still remember the bad day I'd had, and I'd also now have a head ache and sore throat).

Nowadays, I WISH I could say I always sit down and read Qur'an. On the few occaisions that I have done this I've felt a WHOLE lot better - I like to open it at random, read the English translation first the recite the Arabic, that way you have more of an understanding of what your saying. You'll be surprised at the number of times the Surah you chose (competely 'randomly') relates directly to whatever problems you're having.

In reality, I just watch TV (or take my frustrations out on Tottenham Hotsur in Pro Evo).

Crying is good

It lets the boo hoos out!

But seriously

crying gets it all out
when you're all cried out, you can't be bothered being upset after it

What I usually do is watch something funny
usually videos of me and my friends doing stupid impressions
always works

Okay, im not gonna cry. Its just not somethng i do.

I prefer to watch an episode of either The Simpsons or Family Guy. That usually cracks me up. Or i channel it during a game of Halo 3... wild destruction and mayhem helps.

Or, if i cant be bothered with either of those then i hit the gym and work it off.

I don't think I've had a 'bad' day since I quit my job. When I had them at work, I always liked to complain about it to someone who didn't care. That way, I realised it's not important (it's just work - I haven't spoken to any of those guys since the day I left, saying 'keep in touch' as I walked out the door for the final time).

Let go. Use the Force.

Thats what Obi Won Knobi advised Luke Skywalker when he
was feeling a bit down in that tunnel being chased by Darth Vader.

Yeah. Just forget about whatever's troubling you. Like it doesn't exist.

Courage — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 13:36

I think his name is OBI-WAN, not Obi-Won.

I listen to optimistic stuff, use a punch bag and make myself a cup of tea. That always helps!

When I have a bad day the only thing I want to do is cry to my mum about it. No other person or relation would ever give you the sympathy you're looking for apart from your mum.

Omrow — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 16:21

But dont you think that its better not to make your mother worry more.

Why burden her further?

Ya'qub — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 17:02

I don't care how sad this makes me appear, but Fly Like a Bird by Mariah Carey is a pretty brilliant song, for lifting spirits.

Aww... don't worry, I'm coming back in like 7 months (insha'Allah).

Noor — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 18:59

actually don't. it makes you feel better but you end up with a banging headache and puffy eyes the next morning.

Im a lil surprised no one said meditate or something.

The Jedi learn to keep things in perspective. A way of aknowledging reality but not to the expense of the present or without letting it get to you.

You have a punch bag? I want a punch bag!! Now that really helps![/quote]

Not really.

I tried that once, but I got no satisfaction as inanimate objects cannot feel pain.

You — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 22:58

Makes you a (more) sympathetic person. Nothing wrong or stupid about that.

Me on the other hand, I can be properly evil.

I just need to take over the world to show its full extent.

Noor — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 23:05

oh yeah, and chocolate. i usually go out and buy something really expensive, make up usually. makes me happy for some odd reason.

You — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 23:09

I am good at generally ignoring things.

I was just hinting at my cluelessness, which copuld be linked to me ignoring things for too long... or it could be "deep stuff".

I am sure even evil people have regretted things. It's part of the human condition. Question is if they would have reacted differently.

xSmurfy786x — Tue, 4 Nov 2008 - 23:59

I get up, do wudu, read two nafl, do duaa, eat chocolate, go sleep
it reeeeeeeeeeeeli calms me down.

Mothers are very intuitive-if i come home depressed or feeling like crap, my mum would immediately know something is wrong no matter how hard I try to hide it and from that point onwards it would also be on her mind, but the point I was trying to make is that others will just think of your problems as being petty whereas from your mum you'd get the sympathy you're looking for and sometimes you just want to rant and unload all your problems and in my case my mum is the person to do that to.
