What do you do?
We all experience it in different ways, most of us just don't feel motivation to do anything, we just want to curl up in bed and hope to hibernate like a bear for the rest of our life not giving a damn about a knock on our bedroom door, a bowl of soup or even an invitation to a trip with some friends; we just want our bed to come alive and eat us up right then and there and leave no trace of our existence behind.
But we can do some things to step out of that cold, gray atmosphere. At least at a level we can feel good at.
The last time I was severely depressed I didn't eat a thing for days and I would stay in bed listening to music or playing videogames and I would try to speak as little as possible. I would only talk when it would be absolutely necessary.
When I used to have a tiny bit of freedom to go out I would drive and get lost myself in the city and tried to make up thoughts of the many faces I would see and get lost in my imagination...
"That girl looks so lonely, hmm...she looks like she could use a hug from...him...if he's clumsy enough he would trip over her and fall over that birthday cake behind her and he would give her his jacket to cover the mess on her back..."
A granny who feeds the birds who wants to control them with a "Birdbrain-o-taker" helmet in order to take revenge on the kid that would always come every Sunday to scare them off with a ball...
A 60 year-old man who goes to a hill with a bag full of blank paper sheets, writing small messages of various experiences and wisdom on them, folding them into paper planes and throwing them off to the tailwind everyday at 3 o'clock.
And a lot of other silly little stories like that...
So what do you guys like to do when you are down in the dumps?
I'm not feeling blue right now, I'm just pondering here and I'm curious about other people's thoughts about the subject, that's all.
Thanks for reading!
