How to get happy when you are sad?

well, yes i am upset now. maybe its the hormones thing. but yea i will get over it eventually. I know everyone do have their own things to do in their daily life. But is it so hard to have at least ONE friend to be there when you are down? Yes, im talking about "EARTHLY" friends. Maybe im just being petty but yep definitely is the hormones.
And i actually googled How to get happy when you are sad?
So this came out...

1.Call up a friend to talk about it (or to get your mind off it). Your best friends can really give you a boost when you're feeling down. Only call someone you feel you can really communicate with ( called my mum)

2.Watch a funny movie, preferably one that you've already seen and liked. Or, watch a sad one, that will make you think "huh, my life isn't as bad as theirs!! (not working)

3.Eat a good meal. Make something different and delicious, something out of the ordinary. For some people, a good meal can always brighten up a bad mood. ( its just tasty food)

4Exercise. Go for a walk, a jog, or a bike ride. Doing this will make your body release endorphins and adrenaline through your body which will make you feel better physically and emotionally. (forget about it, its freezing out there)

5Be spontaneous. Sometimes a consistent and boring routine can make you feel bad. Do something out of the blue, but don't make any rash decisions. (nah, hormones)

6Paint a picture. Express your feelings with color and shapes. Art is part of life. (lol)

7Think about good memories. If you've lived through them once, than you can definitely have them again. Just because things may seem bad right now doesn't mean that tomorrow they will be. (thanks)

8Take a shower. You will feel happier and refreshed. (frozen)

9Get out of the house! The fresh air will make you feel better. Go somewhere with a friend, a family member, or even by yourself. See a movie, shop, go on a picnic, etc. Staying inside is like trapping yourself inside your depression.

10Listen to music. Don't listen to sad music–try listening to energetic tunes or a song that inspires you or reminds you of good times.

11Have a good cry. Sometimes the sadness stays inside your head if you try to force yourself to be happy. Try to let the tears out at the most appropriate time, mainly the best time when you are alone. Do this, and you might feel more relieved of your sad feelings, as if it "got off your chest".

12Put your feelings into perspective. Is what you're upset about really as important as you think? Did it seem to heavily affect more on yourself than those around you? If you sulk about little problems, like not receiving a perfect grade or spilled milk, then you're going to feel sad a lot more easily. Not all of your problems require you to use your head, especially not ones that are very serious like the loss of a loved one. If you use reason to cheer yourself up, chances are you'll feel a lot less stressed.

13Sometimes taking a nap might make you feel better. Try it and have a good, long nap.

14Journal - Stop dwelling on past hurts, and look to the future. Each day is a new day. Just because you were sad yesterday doesn't mean you have to be sad today. Get a fresh slate. Each person has a good side to them: show yours. Be grateful for what you have; don't worry about what you don't have.

15Instead of writing in a journal, make a list of 100 things that make you happy. It's a challenge, but see if you can do it. Don't think, don't worry about if it's childish or silly, just write it down.

16Before you go to bed, completely clear your mind of everything. This includes school life, grades, friends, family, etc. Dream up your happy place. This will at least leave you falling asleep with a better mood, making your feelings brighter in the morning.

17Listen to certain songs, preferably songs that give you a nice warm, happy feeling.

18Take a long walk to calm you down and to relax


That is so not me now. really.. all those "advices" doesnt seem to work or appeal to me anymore. Im really grateful how God had turn my life 360 degrees. sometimes i think that, those advice are to people who dont know God yet. But! it still might help. just an opinion. advice 1, 9 ,10 might help. definitely not painting for me. i might try doing number 15 someday :)

So now lets pray. God i pray that you will restore my feelings and help me cope with my hormones cause i think that my blood donation is coming up soon(as i always prayed for) and help me to get over petty issues like this for example.

In His love,
