The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

me, loud music. loud rock music turned to the max where the brain feels numb so my thoughts cannot penatrate through. anyone else have any better sugestions?? lol..or what just works for you?

Is this therapy? LoL

Videogames are real helpful to play when I'm down. The second best medicine.

i also blast music, write out my thoughts, and/or alk to my bf

lol yes medicin and a bandade fixes all....:)

music and talking to friends help me

sex!

and therapy...drugs too heheh

sex money spending it mostly and fighting

aside from the attempts at humor here..honestly the only real thing that helps is getting inot my car.cranking my music depending on how bad the mood is and just gunning it along the highway where i can see the water

i usually drive..fast.. with a friend..with music on blast and screaming or singing along with it..but if im home and theres no one to talk to..i watch qotd..for some reason it relaxes me..must be the music

Usually talking to friends, even playing with my dog is good stress relief.

I get drunk or go to sleep...

And listen to very loud music...

thinking about my bf, or write poetry but mostly eat choclate ice cream. its good for the soul. ^_^

Something physical, walk run etc...and loud music

like you said ... loud rock music...
that's what i do....break the speakers...

i paint or draw, write, listen to loud depressing music, or break or punch stuff depending on how mad i am. if none of that works i call and talk to one of my best friends he has a way of making me laugh my ass off no matter how pissed off i am.

movies and reading

sex drugs and rock’n’roll :)

Reading, writing, playing my guitar, listening to my music, singing, dancing, playing the piano or talking with Andret about it, that is what I do.

A few too many muscle relaxers and a bottle of whiskey is always fun :P

Lately....my friend Capt. Morgan has been keeping me company.....

just the thought that many people can be worse off than me, music, and it helps when u have some one there to talk to.

a vacation? lol...well depinds of the case..sometimes I need just to stay alone in my room with my toughts and listen my favorit music.

hmmm...lots of things... everybody here named a few... a joint, music, wrighting, painting, a hot bath, sex, friends to talk to, friends to have fun with, food :) , video games... everything that i love to do and that keeps my toughts away from me...

well its not when im down its when im mad and what i do is listen to loud music and then exercise i dont know why but it help release the anger

Music, Video games and reading for me.

Oh yah, plowing down meat sims in Perfect Dark, also a great stress reliever

like most everybody else here, loud heavy musik, video games (sometimes), reading (if im not too frustrated), playing my bass, and #1 my gf. i love you allie!!!

getting totaly drunk
n sex

i cry and then i feel better. if it doesn't get better then i call my friends and hang out with them for a bit. it usually fixes things up

everything everyone else said. but for me SWIMMING help the most. i go and do laps, pushing myself till i cant even stay afloat. to where i can barly walk the next day... ohhh it feels soo good

The thing that helps me when I'm down... just gettin on VR and writing down my emotions... how I truly feel... get in touch about how I really see things... not what anyone else thinks... but just me... if I'm pissed off, i can be pissed off... if im just sad, then i can be sad... just the simple moments when you look at urself and say, "I'm mad, but I'm Ok... I'm sad, but I'm Ok... cuz it doesnt control me... and I refuse to let it dictate my life."

doobie, my guitar, listening to music, and talking to my love

talking with freinds who are not involed in the situation. music and sinking into a deep bath and reading violent books

I, personally, listen to loud rap or rock music and sometimes even write. Just write about what went wrong and how it happened and how to fix it.

usually video games like BloodRayne....where I can kill people...while I imagine that they are the people that brought me down in the first place. My cats usually help me relax after that

I would cry, but I can't cry. Damn my mother for it, she said crying was for the weak, so I haven't cried in a while. I go years without crying but when I do, I cry for weeks on end.

depending on how down i am i'll either meditate or blast some hard rock music

Music, friends, video games and drugs always helps me when i'm down. (not in that order)

being round lots of people, listening to music, anything that boosts myself esteam

honestly I would have to say watching Jerry Springer! Whenever I need to feel better about myself or I have had a shitty day, I just watch those people and know that I don't have it so bad. Also my son helps me. He always puts a smile on my face no matter what.

Depends, if im kind of upset, then usually the beatles or queen or something will help.. something like that...other times if its big only one person can help and thats the person i love.. too bad i can barely talk to him and a lot of times hes teh reason im sad.. heh so that might not help..

Shopping is always fun ^___^ XD

friends,mum,heavy metal music and cigarette..

music,tv,internet,going out,books but only for a short time are useful.Then am dwn again.

Ok...A blunt,Bourbon and these guys-
Dimmu Borgir,Haggard,CoF,Lacrimosa and Samael all seem to help in a combined effort to perk me up again....That and the nearest thing to vent any inevitable post-depression anger on.

Writing, or a good discussion.

listening to music and being with my family

Listening to music and having someone to talk to who actually listens

the smile or the laughter of my little boy

Kheldar, my cat. lol. Reading helps me sometimes. If I'm angry ... Nine Inch Nails ... music is a really good sedative. Writing, poetry, meditation, walking ....... I don't take drugs for it (perscription or otherwise), it has been my experience that they only make me worse, sometimes in the opposite direction, other times in the wrong direction. But mostly I walk around like a zombie. My kids help too sometimes, but I have a niece that just seems to be able to know what to say to make you laugh when your most distraught.

For me I think its video games, getting computer parts and sex. Not in that order....lol

me i just put some blaring music on sit on my bed room floor then start to carve someting into my skin or i get my tattoo gun thingy and give me a tattoo... to me i love tattoos...

i just thought of a few other outlets for my down times...sex sex and more sex, talking to my mother yes i said it i have a great relationship with her, and this site has been doing a great deal of good for me when im depressed.

music, computer, maybe sleeping, and food makes me feel better most times when i am down

loud music and/or turkey sandwiches....Ice cream helps too

screaming, listening to loud music, talking to friends, talking to/getting a hug from chris, taking a drive, cutting myself, smoking a cigarette....yea that about covers it

cutting for me but only because it feels good not for a release or something like that

Whats helps me out alot when I'm down is reading, writing.... anything, watching tv, and listening to loud rock music. reality makes me sad so anything that can help me escape it for alittle while is good. but of course even though drugs would help more than you know to escape reality I wouldn't what do resort to that. I tried it and after a few years realized I didn't like using drugs....

playing my drums...... and a few other things that i am sure i can't put here....lol

Well, I skimmed the other responses, and I must say what I saw seems the same as I would do. Depending on what level of down I'm at usually driving fast through country roads with loud music usually cures most of my bad moods.

i love lovelove to blast my music, and its a 'bad habbit' but i cut ,write, sing, dance or somtimes i run into to the cemetary and look at the graves.

Oh yah, childhood comfort foods like banana's with sugar and milk

getting very drunk, smoking(cigarettes of course) and listening to manson, cradle ,
and otep...

Spending my time here and letting everything slip past, god this place is addicting.

hmmm a nice bubble bath with candles, music, incense and nice ice cooler or paralizer lol or shopping lots of it i believe in shop till you drop or you get kicked out b/c they are closing on you lol

Whenever I'm down...I listen to music, use the comp, surf the internet, post at forums, do things here, eat/drink, scribble randomly, draw, write stuff, punch something, ...etc. etc.

talking w/ friends or a few cold beers at the local nudie bar

The first thing I would do when I got down, is turn on Music, loud, blasting, sorrowful, depressing music. The type that says screw you in it basically. Then After a few hours of sitting there looking up at the ceiling, a few quick flicks to relieve the pain, watch the blood flow down from the wound, clean it up and move on.

loud music, writing, drawing, blood

Sitting in front of my fireplace with a bottle of wine, some good music and just enjoy the moment.

Lots of zombies.

sleep

weed or violant.

monkeys???? O_O;;;; *blinks* sorry, random comment

sex and lots ov it ...always good 4 a pick me up

Eating sour candy

For me i talk to my bf or my 2 (yes only2) friends, wicca helps mediatatin and all

well um.. i sed to cut myself.... badly.. so yeah i am getting help for that but now... i started
to drink... so yeah,...

to bad

to listen to - as i call it - good mood music. violent femmes would be the best example, or the pogues

hot bath or a cold shower...depending on the weather.
running, if i can make myself move.
ice cream for a very temporary solution.
a good long cry.

i think i'm going to go cry and eat ice cream in the bathtub right now actually.

Ooh...major cravings for the sweet frozen goodness of ice cream taking over. GAH! @_@

well, first, i get srung out on lore tabs, vodka, and heavy beats and then i usually pass out for a long time.

Nothing beats blaring the ipod and chillin out in front of the puter playing solitaire.. well, that is except going out and buying a new outfit :)

Just slipping away from reality itself is good enough for me sometimes.

I VISIT MY GREAT GRANDMOTHER'S GRAVE,TALKING TO MY FRIENDS ON VR AND FINDING SOMEONE THATS LIKES ME FOR WHO I AM.

umm talkin to my gf just hearing her voice can change my whole mood.....or my friend jessi she can turn any bad situation into one u can laugh at shes pretty cool

Thats a easy one ... solitude, nothing better for me than being on my own in a quiet space.

I dont usually get down,, But if i do I like to listen to music,, lay quietly on my bed and spend time w/ the cats,, or call my sister...

When I get down, I like to take on positive thoughts and think of those less fortunate than myself. That cures my selfishness in my own self indulgence.

Death of loved ones and pets, however, is hard for me to grasp and beat away the blues..but then I conquer that with the happy memories and good times past :) It doesn't work all the time but it makes me feel more whole after.

nyquill! lol, um.. love

I break things . Maybe curse at them .
If it's someone else puttin' me down I leave'em alone . Murder gets ya in jail , you know ;) Maybe beat'em up later on .

music bf if he is no the problem

music

Loud music that relatets to waht I'm going through, and having my friends talk to and my poetry and Drawings.
