Things to do in Houston

Sorry Princess. Bubble baths are good - with all the good stuff from Bath and Body Works, the lights turned low and playing relaxing music. Driving around is also good - this is probably where the punk rock should come in. I've also used The Clash to help myself get back on my feet... except it was Combat Rock instead of London Calling... Music is great therapy. Whatever you do, it helps to stay busy. Best of luck...

 

The best thing I can say is to hang out with friends, as others have stated.

But if you like video games, a good few hours of Counterstrike never hurt anyone

Try to do social things though. If you are "alone with your thoughts" you'll just dwell on things. So keep busy. Unless you want to think about it. Perhaps the best thing I've ever done getting over a relationship is I was a chapel all by myself (I had the key) and I was just talking and sometimes yelling outloud and pacing around the room -- God really helped me through that.

 

You could always babysit my son so my wife and I can go out.

 

Strangely enough, exercise always used to help me (if intense and long enough, it releases endorphins).

Don't forget logic...with relationships, what was meant to be will be.

Good luck Princess ...hope you feel better soon.

 

princess, whenever im depressed i usually light some candles and turn the radio on to 90.1 or 91.9 and listen to some jazz.

maybe something like that will help you out for awhile.

 

That sucks Princess. Movies always helped me whenever I didn't want to hangout with my friends.

 

You should go out and buy lots of expensive things. I've heard that its therapeutic.

Or you could come smoke out with me on my friend's lake. Its pretty relaxing. Or just chillin out there is cool too.

 

Yes, but expensive things usually take credit and while the feeling after splurging may be exhilerating(sp?), the feeling when you get the bill really blows.

Princess, go work out or do something spontaneous like going to the batting cages. Take out your feelings on every pitch.

 

LOL. I was just glancing over the thread and for a second I thought you said...

princess, whenever im depressed i usually light some up for awhile. and for a second i thought you were mo taylor.

 

And by the way Princess, I'm glad that you and your ex were able to remain civil after breaking up. I dated the most incredible girl of my life and she was my girlfriend for about a year and we broke up about this time last year. We're still best friends. See, it's all good.

If you want to cheer up, watch Zoolander, that movie is freakin' hilarious!

If you are really bored, you can visit my page.

Lataz.

 

Whenever I get depressed i just think about how many more rings Zan Tabak has than John Stockton and fall into laughter and joy!

 

sorry to hear about you guys. That really stinks. My consolations to you both.

Exercise is great for clearing the mind. Try doing some light jogging when you get the chance. Or any sport you enjoy. Or lifting weights. Or tai-chi.

 

Well, for starters kick it up a notch. If you are going to drown your sorrows, go for the gusto. Get some tequilla, ecstacy, nitrous oxide and a strobe light. Invite some Banditos over (make sure you provide the Crank..you are the host, remember) and start talking some smack about who they are wanna-be Hell's Angels and that they could never pull off an Altamont! Then, after a few hours dodging chains and pool cues, pull a shot-gun out and demand (in a French accent, if possible) that everyone of those Bandito loser MF'ers join hands and sing Kumbaya...and get the hell out! I'm telling you, when you feel low, this is the way to go. I may not be able to see out of my right eye and stutter every now and then, but I got some stories out of getting dumped!

Elvis, who only wants to help

 

not to be depressing or something. but sometimes u can end it and be civil, but then after thinking about some stuff u start to hate the other person and thats when it becomes a nightmare. ...
anyways..
jammin to Island in the Sun by Weezer while takin a nice drive down westheimer at nite is always relaxin.

 

"...and allmy dreams...fade off and stay...
...ill be your stumbeline ill be your superqueen..
..and what they never knew can never get to you"

.man. just go drive around. and listen to some pissed off loud music. yell alot and bang your hands on the steering wheel. get a speeding ticket. go drive to the waterwall by the galleria and look at it. go run 5 miles and spit alot while youre doing it (if no ones around). go sleep for a whole day. go watch a movie by yourself. buy an 18 pack of beer, and a shot glass, and take a shot of beer every minute, until you pass out. go draw a f*cked up picture that abstractly shows how you feel. dont try to think about calling your x back or why things went wrong, or justifying that you should get back together. get on here and b!tch alot. go mow the lawn and dont think about mowing the lawn. punch yourself in the face till you get a black eye...(nah dont do that). dont do any of this..

dont listen to me. what the hell do i know? you should probably just call your friends and go party like a normal person would.
but at least egg your xboyfriends house...

 

First, go get some exercise like Cohen suggested. Second, go do some volunteer work. Getting outside of your own misery by doing something for someone else is the best way to put perspective on your own problems. It's way better than "treating" yourself or "anaesthetizing" yourself.
