Let's see
1) remind myself that everyone has crappy days, not just folks with mental health issues
2) remind myself this will pass (this one is not always effective)
3) spend time with my kittens.
4) watch some nice mindless television
5) read. I even have some favorite go-to books for when I feel like life sucks
6) call a friend a vent about the day
7) isolate, yeah I know this is not supposed to be good, but some times I need to shut the world out for a few hours
8) like someone said, some times I need to just give in, say "this day sucks". I give myself permission to feel rotten for awhile. I do put a time limit on wallowing so I don't get stuck in feeling sorry for myself.
