For me, it's usually to take a break. Just step back from what I'm doing and do something else. Thankfully for me, I'm easily caught up in video games so I can just turn to that if I want or I go and hang out with some pals irl which completely removes me from my situation altogether. So like, if I'm getting frustrated with drawing, I'll just go play video games or watch some stuff online for a few hours and come back to it or heck, I'll take an entire day just to kick back and relax so I don't have to worry about what's stressing me out.

Honestly, the same as Rowboat. I just try to take some time to step back and mostly attempt to distract myself from everything. A video game, a movie, a book, whatever. Just something to get my minds off of things for a bit. It's not perfect, but it usually helps a bit.

Sometimes it's nice to just lay down and cry. After that emotional indulgence is over, I usually just sleep on it. Once I wake up, I feel better more often than not, but I'm not positive it works for everyone.
Regardless, I hope you start feeling better soon, GoatTrain.

Funny enough, that's about what I did last night. I never managed full-on tears, but sleep is usually good for resetting my mood. Didn't quite happen this morning though, sadly.

Are you seeking medical help?

I am not. Until recently, this kind of thing hasn't been often or severe enough to warrant that kind of thing. I still kinda don't think it is - little emotional dips like this probably happen to everyone, and I'm always able to bounce back pretty quickly. It's something I've considered, though. And I'll likely do that in the future if this becomes too bad.

I know that feel, as ironically that's what hinders me from dedicating more into art, plus some other reasons I believe could be delusional.
Personally, I try to distract myself by doing something else. Sometimes even trying to doodle a little on Swapdoodle for 3DS (Could be nice having more friends to share doodles with there.) or on a old college block.
But, I feel like I have to find a professional to talk with to let out some bad out of my system.
If I didn't had so hard to cry, it could've bringed some ease.

Though, I'm not much help. I only hope you'll get well soon.

Murder helps me unwind

perfect, thanks

I know it's clichee, but talking to friends does help - not so much about feeling down or seeing the upside of things - depression cannot be logic'd away, it is inherently illogical - but just reaching out to a good friend and talking, even if it's hard to do that initial step - maybe on chat, but more likely on voice, maybe watching a movie together, playing a game, just talking about silly things, making bad jokes, exchanging that silly idea you had the other day and getting some input that makes it better - all that helps me a lot and gets my motivation to keep going back up. :)

And hey - You have me on Skype, we can totally talk on other messengers too - Feel free to reach out!

I would say, "talk about it with your friends", but sometimes that has the opposite effect! Like, thinking about the bad stuff just makes one angrier than how one started, and no one feels any better for it.

I think friends is a good answer, though! It might be fun to just have people you can share goofy shit with. Like, I'm seriously thinking of a Discord server where posting silly/awesome stuff is encouraged. It might be good to distract yourself for awhile! You know, hang your worries up for awhile, get distracted, and see if you leave with as many worries as you started with.

For the SUPER BIG worries that won't go away, I recommend making a checklist! https://www.wunderlist.com/ is fantastic! You can make notes on tasks, set dates, reminders, etc. Put a list of EVERYTHING that's bugging you, and figure out what has the most dire consequences for not doing them, and then that task is #1, and so on. If something is making me anxious because I'm avoiding it (which is often), sometimes a little organizing can help!

A friend of mine usually keeps it in and tells me later about his problems, even though he knows he can tell me anything. That's not good, but people deal with life in different ways.

For me, sleeping resets my mood each day, but thoughts still linger for a while. That's why playing games helps take the edge off.

Long story short: If you have GOOD friends they should be able to listen to your problems and support you in SOME way, even it's like a broken record-advise, anything is better than sulking/self loathing in a corner by yourself. But again, people handle things differently, so this kinda affects the whole/final outcome and results.

I usually just seek out friends to try and absorb some positive thinking, though even I had to seek help at some point. While I'm not on drugs anymore, seeing a is definitely an option. Don't do it first, but don't wait until it's too late.
