    Cigarettes and chocolate milk seem to work.

    i cant stand being sad, and im usually not (anger is more my style) but when i am, i just lay in bed, curl up under the blankets and think about everything thats bothering me. this usually leads to be bawling my eyes out, but after crying and wallowing in my sadness for long enough, i'm completely exhausted by being sad and have no choice but to remain on an even emotional keel. i don't know if that works for anyone else, its just what works for me.

    i'd much rather be angry
    but i have no choice at the moment
    i'm sad for the stupidest of reasons too
    well...maybe not..but whatever
    i do love to wallow, but that would end in me doing something stupid

    The best cure for sadness is good friends.

    i don't "make" myself anything! i avoid depressing annoyances to the fullest extent opportunity avails itself of doing so though.

    for those who lack imagination this might seem like a boring way to go through life.
    i, on the other paw, find it entirely more gratifying then any accumulation of mundane conventionality.

    i prefer a state of peace and calm, neither elated nor morose. this is the deeper happiness inside. and creating and exploring is where i persue that happiness, occasionally accompanied by small spirits who would be considered odd by those incapable of imagining them were they ever to do so.

    really though, it is the mechanistic, if i may use that word in a positive sense, convolutions of how to fit things togather and make them work within certain constraining peramiters. those being primarily sustainable harmony with the natural world, in ways not requiring tecnological sophistication to be entirely sacraficed.

    Hammer, meet nail on head.

    That is the very answer to this question.

    I entirely agree.

    May we all learn from your planetary wisdom :)

    Ask why you are here, how you got here, and what you can do in the future to be happier than you are... work toward that in every moment and you will avoid such sorrow entirely.

    It is not.

    The best cure is to not allow sadness to envelope you in the first place - so that you yourself may be the good friend :)

    Happiness is not found in the eyes of another - it is found in the eyes of the mirror.

    I am thankful to be able to experience sadness. It is a valuable emotion.
    And I am thankful I am not an emotionless person.

    If you are happy to be sad, you are not sad.

    We are emotional creatures... you choose to envelope yourself within these emotions, or use them to your benefit.

    Fear can be used to incite action, or it can be used to incite more fear - that is a choice you make with any emotion.

    When I feel sad, or any emotion really, I sit cross legged on the floor, put my hands with palms facing upwards on my knees, close my eyes and focus on Love. Contemplation position is the self discipline that cures any mental manifestation that is unwelcome -

    I think it depends on the situation, but usually I'd say fuck it and go find something to keep me busy.
