    Whenever I'm having a bad day, I truly laugh at it, and smile. Because, I know that tomorrow will be better.

    Nicholas:

    When you consider that you live in the freest, most prosperous country in the world and at the time in all of human history with the most opportunity, how could you possibly be in a funk!

    Crank up some Grand Funk RR really loud and it'll blast it out of you.
    Truth springs from argument among friends.

    Try it next time. There is nothing better than laughing (or, at the very least, smiling) when you're feeling crappy.

    Laughing is good medicine, so is excercise. but the greatest antidote to funk is love. Love, love , love. Love is all you need.

    Whether it's from your animals, the kids, or a mate. Living for others gets me motivated. I like to feel useful, appreciated, and loved.

    It's probably psysiological. Start exercising. Depression is a choice and the wrong one at that. You need to put things in perspective and realize how easy you have it first.

    Huh???????? Psychological.......... Steven Start exercsing... What excerises do you suggest? I need to lose two pounds or may be five.... Some say 60 to 70 pounds but I do not think that much. I am not that big I do not think.

    Depression is not a choice. Extended family members have suffered from depression and it brings everyone around that person down too. Depression is not fun and in most cases it is not a choice...

    Yikes yikes yikes............ Keep the bowling ball in your own bowling lane.

    Yes, all good advice here. My grandmother used to say, "This too shall pass..." She was right. Hang in there, or try weed.

    Nic, this one's for you....

    The sun'll come out tomorrow,
    Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow there’ll be sun
    Just thinking about tomorrow
    Clears away the cobwebs and the sorrow till there’s none
    When I'm stuck with a day that's gray and lonely
    I just stick out my chin and grin and say...Oh!
    The sun'l1 come out tomorrow,
    So you got to hang on till tomorrow, came what may!
    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
    You’re always a day away...
    I just stick out my chin and grin and say
    The sun'll come out tomorrow
    So you got to hang on till tomorrow, came what may!
    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya, tomorrow
    You’re always a day away...
    Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow
    You’re always a day away

    Interesting responses and I agree that life is what you make it..however I do note that none of you advocated what some of my friends usually tell me: "Aw hell, you just need to get laid"....
