I'm feeling a bit down today. I don't really wanna talk about it suffice to say that I had planned something today and it didn't work out. So now I'm feeling a little bit 'meh'.
Not that it worries me. It's ok to feel down sometimes. My strategies for combatting the blues include the following:
Firstly if you got something bothering you or pulling you down be sure that you avoid dwelling on it. Self analysis can be a killer that spirals you back or further into a low.
Cover your body's basic needs like good food, be well rested and freshen up.
Psyche yourself back up in preparation for something to do. Even if you don't have anything to do that day, get outta those PJ's and put on some going out clothes and be ready to greet the world. Part of psyching up is music.
Play some angsty tunes, some melancholic tunes and then some good vibes to raise your energy levels so you can enjoy the day on a high.
Finally DO SOMETHING! Something social is best but it doesn't have to be. If you set your self a goal or task and you accomplish it. You can feel good about your achievement.
Ok have a nice day! I know I will :)

Well said, especially about the psyching yourself up and getting out of the PJ's etc bit. I don't often find myself sitting in my PJ's all day and mooching around at home when I am down, but I know someone who does, and it's quite a task to get her spirits up again!
