I try and call a friend i have not talked to in awhile. I have two good friends i've known since the 2nd grade and although we live 200 miles apart we still help one another. Sometimes i go on a hike or take a walk somewhere remote from where i live. When you go hiking and you are focusing on your steps so you don't fall and observing your surroundings it really takes me mind off the situation. Smoking weed really helps me. Or watching movies such as this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwcVJMvVWDA"]YouTube - Dumb and Dumber - Toilet Scene
Find the point. Life isn't some magic riddle waiting to be solved. The point is the here and now. I can stare out the window right now and look at this really beautiful old oak tree. To me, things like that are the point. You just gotta learn how to appreciate the small stuff. Once reality becomes your immediate surroundings instead of regrets from the past or worries of the future, its really hard to get down for too long. At least from my personal experience, I find that to be true.
Meliai has hit the nail on the end - as long as you can see beauty in the small things in life nothing will ever seem pointless. Being less introspective and more aware of the big picture is the key.
I don't ever feel so down that I feel it's not worth it anymore. Even if I'm sad, I'm able to appreciate the happiness and good things I have and am surrounded by and I get over it. I'm stuck in the one place I swore to God I'd never end up stuck and you know...I'm not that bad off.
Feeling down? The one constant in life is change, so this too shall pass. Pointless? Well "The point" to one's existence is largely a matter of ones own perspective's and opinons, so when it seem's "pointless" I tend to appreciate the time off the universe has given me from my self appointed "Point". At least thats my 2 cents for the day on the subject.
I write it out. I have pages of nonsense ramblings that I've written when I'm really depressed. They somehow make sense when I'm done, though. And of course, hipforums also
I look at people who have it worse than me by simply being, and immediately feel better about myself. Hence, HipForums.
