Ever got anything said to you when you were lonely, in trouble, in a bad mood, incredibly angry?

List some things that have been said to you, or you have said, or you would want to say, when you or anyone else has been down in the dumps.
List things that have brightened up your day and made the sun seem to shine on you after a day of misery, or sadness, or whatever else.
Either that or tell of experiences, doesn't really matter.

I was down in the dumps when I lost that Academic Team match a couple months ago. So I posted a thread. ^^
They said: "It's alright, it's just a competition...etc. etc." and they were right, it got me brightened up because I never thought anyone would care, much less online people. :D
 
If someone's down in the dumps, I'll simply sing "Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya', tomorrow...you're always a day away!" You get the idea. I'll try and cheer them up by acting weird, but not too weird. But well, sometimes it's best to leave situations like that alone. They might actually want to be alone too.


 
Yeah, when someone's down in the dumps 'bout something I usually try to say or do something funny to cheer 'em up.
But when I'm in a bad mood I like to see or hear 'bout pple that life's sucking more mine. Therefore making myself feel better that I'm not such and such person. :)
 
I rarely get someone to say something to cheer me up. My ex use to say "Love you" in order to get a smile on myface again. But nowadays I have to make myself happy again as I have no family and friends round me up here at uni.
 
It really depends on what kind of thing is bothering me... but usually distraction in the form of music, gaming, reading, walking...that usually does a good job for me.:)
 
I've got an old burnt out monitor pack-ratted away in this closet of mine. Sure, I can refurbish it but I'm saving it for a day when I'm REAL pissed. That's the day I finally drag it outside to some empty field out here and just beat the living shit out of it to vent some. I've been convinced quite a few days that I'll end up pulling that thing out and initiating its demise, but by the time I get home I've cooled down enough to just be lazy and leave it alone in there. But even just thinking about it, and knowing its in there and ready to get fucked up when I get home is enough to slightly brighten the mood.
 
To cheer up about something ai bitch about it incessently. or fix the problem. sulking is fabulous too. XD

But to cheer someone else up i just talk to them, i dont give them any Bull, and i tell it like it is, because they'd rather hear the truth than bubble-wrapped lies.
 
well me and my boyfriend always support each other

like not long ago, he was having trouble finding a job, so i was like, dont worry, everything, all your worries will go away

he really needed money to pay off bills and stuff, so he was pretty down, but then i said, "look, bad times dont last forever, theyll go away and youll be thinking back to this moment and realize 'man im glad thats over...' so as long as you dont worry too much, youll be fine"

and thats what i think, bad times dont last forever, dont linger too much in your misery because your just hurting yourself

so yeah as long as you have someone out there who loves you, whether it is your mom or friend, youll be okay!

SO DONT WORRY, BE HAPPY! like the song :D
 
I’m mostly told to… Cheer up; don’t let it get you down… Life’s to short… It’s only this or it’s only that… However, most of the time I pretty much do a good job of hiding my mood as well as keep to myself when I’m down and out.
 
Once I had a generally bad day at school no reason why just a shitty time, I had to go to work afterwards. I went to work and it turned out I wasn't scheduled so I got to go home early.
I played Civilization 2 all day until School.

I'd say that unexpected things in my favor cheer me up.
 
Actions speak louder than words...for the most part...but there are some words that are just too comforting. ^.^

For the most part, even when I should be feeling depressed, I completely overlook it. But sometimes we just get sideswiped with something that's unavoidable, and which we feel is undeserved. It's like that for me. When I'm down, I'm down, and it's hard not to realize it.
The best thing for someone to do when I'm facing my fears is to act, and not speak. Buy me something to eat, don't say anything about the situation, just be there in case I need something. Buy me a flower; it's incredibly easy to lift my spirits.
The only thing that I wish I would receive from my loved ones is a simple "I love you". Being sideswiped by those words, unexpectedly, is the best thing in the world.
