Bad stuff happens, and some days every mistake and moment of misery in your life seems to go through your head at the same time. What do you do?

I pretend to go to sleep.

Take one.

I just keep moving on and remember that everything becomes a great story later. The crappier the moment, the better the story becomes. Well, I prefer to laugh then cry.

I go through this a lot bro, especially because of all the depression **** I deal with. My best way to cope (outside of the unhealthy stuff like binge eating/drinking/world of warcraft) is by just remembering that things will get better. I make a list in my head of all the things that are **** right now, then come up with a likely scenario in the future that will offset it.

For instance, today I felt really depressed and lonely, so when I thought about how much I missed my ex, I reminded myself I can definitely find a girlfriend to settle down with by the time I finish my neurology phd since that will get my money and respect.

also don't listen to alex he's a masochist

Just say Yank It next time and everything will be alright.

BTW OP,
I've been laid off work for three weeks. First time in 12 years in my profession that this has happened.
I'm extremely stressed and down about money. I make a decent living but it's paycheck to paycheck with no real savings other than retirement so my kids can grow up in a decent house, in a decent place, in a great school district.
Then I think about if I was in the Philippines right now...
Depression basically over.

I'm not saying to disregard your feelings. They are yours and they are valid.
But, others suffer more.
Have compassion for yourself and others and the stress and depression soon gives way to action and inertia.

My imaginary friend comforts me, at least when I think to imagine. Also singing Getting Nowhere by Magnetic Man helps for unknown reasons.

What are emotions

What are organic algorithms?

Edit: Sorry. Should I have answered in a Jeopardy like format?

When I feel like crap? Must be a weekday. Jaeger Cherrios & a nap. Followed by checking email, browsing forums, etc. & getting a few hours of sleep so I can go to class & do it all over again.

This too shall pass.

When I feel bad, just take it minute by minute, hour by hour, and day by day. Eventually whatever was making your life difficult will be far enough in the past that your life will go on. In the meantime, play some games and try to do stuff that gets your mind off of it, or else if it's something you CAN do something about, then use that rage and frustration to pound out exactly what you need to get done.

Hard to say. I feel like crap most of the time. The only thing to really do is to keep breathing, otherwise things will never have a chance to get better. Just keep breathing...

Listen to sad music

I think the only time I felt bad I didn't know I felt bad till about a year later. Video games helps me not realize it.
