What do you do when the black dog gets on your ass?

[thewakokid]

WHen you just get hit by that sudden and inexplicable wave of depression, anxiety, all round fear, doubt, hate and - paradoxically - ennui?

How do you fight it back?

1. Sleep.

2. Re-watch movies that make me feel good.

3. Put on music that makes me want to dance, and... get up and dance.

4. Mindlessly surf the internet or play a videogame until it's time for #1.

#1 was a good call

thanks!

Start reading (and soon abandon) a ridiculous number of fics until I find one which can penetrate the "blanket of ugh" and actually grab my attention. Whenever I can't stand my own emotions I substitute them with fictional ones.

I never said my coping mechanisms were any good

I try and find some sunlight, if that's an option.

I try to make myself something nice to eat, even if it's something as simple as scrambled eggs and buttered toast. Or - and this might not be entirely practical if it's summer where you are - I make soup. There's something comforting about a fragrant pot of soup simmering on the stovetop for an hour or so.

I also watch something comforting like Great British Bake Off or British panel shows.

Tell Sirius that if he doesn't find some other hole to chew on, you're going to neuter him and feed his balls to a Death Eater.

Oh wait...

Read some bad tumblr poetry

[(Anonymous)]

Kafka’s lament, decontextualised
a snap of yellowed page,
a tertiary source
quoting his old diary

I have not written in ten days …

I too become vermin
under their gaze;
an/other Jewish faggot
blind with migraine

HaAdam—a man?
like me, ensnared.

Go for long rambling walks at night. Read and watch new stuff or old favorites, especially comedies. Cook and eat whatever I feel like. Complement people or leave nice reviews of their fics. Take a hot shower. Do dishes or some other small chore so I feel like I accomplished something. Mindlessly surf the web.

Go to the gym, take a walk if the weather allows, find an opportunity for human interaction, or just go to bed early and see if things will "reset" overnight.

Wallow in it and cry, eat junk food and drink Coke.

Hope you feel better, just keep fighting!

I don't. I've lived something like ten years with untreated clinical depression. It was great when it was finally cured; too bad that after a few years it's already creeping back in, but I'm used to it.
