I haven't felt blue or depressed for several years; although, it's easy to reel off several reasons why I could be, no spark in my marriage for years, old and nearing the final sleep, wheelchair bound, and obese, not to mention Trump and the GOP who are my political enemies.

An epiphany changed my attitude. A few years ago I was in the hospital and could have died without medical intervention. I don't fear death anymore, it will occur. However, I'm fighting for life.

Now I"m working on making my body what I want instead giving-in to hunger. There is no place for the blues when you are struggling to survive. I'm using meditation, exercise and food restriction to shape my body into skinny.

I got a divorce. Cleared that problem right up.

Been a long time sense I have been blue but this song, as I recall, always seemed to help. - always reminded me that all mind states will change.

If you're blue and you don't know where to go to why don't you go where fashion sits?

All of the stuff you're not supposed to do (lay in bed, eat junk, drink... more, smoke entirely too much, make bad "life" choices, watch ridiculous amounts of SNL and Monty Python, ok that might be the healthiest one...)

I'm in the wrong world or wrong timeframe. This is what things like MeTV are for. Binge watch this stuff and you can time travel to an area you are more comfortable with. Music is always good for the same thing. Just pick what you like and go with it. The problem is that I live this way. There is no way in hell that I can fully embrace the world around me. It has become the enemy.

Fire up a sativa blunt.

I don't get the blues, what's the point?

Listen to music I love, e.g. Alanis Morissette or the Beatles. These two can usually lift me up quite a bit. Music in general usually helps me feel better. Watching good TV sitcoms and sleep can also help too.

Erm... develop yet another self destructive coping mechanism?

Drink beer.

Musical catharsis. Blast music when no one is home, sing along really loud. Back when I was a teenager and gas was under a dollar I'd go drive around and do it, but yeah, musical catharsis is my go-to.

I watch some Doctor Who. It's comfort TV for me. If I'm really in bad shape, I smoke some weed. Specifically sativa. It literally pulls me out of emotion mind when I'm having a depressive episode so I can dissect the emotion.

Sleep, glorious sleep.

Leonard Cohen, I know it seems daft listening to an artist that many consider depressing but those in the know can hear the jokes hidden in darkness. "Even damnation is poisoned with rainbows".

Rama, aka Ramachandra, one of the seven avatars of the Hindu god Vishnu, is tradirionally depicted with blue skin. His weapon is the bow and arrow. When I'm blue I make like Rama by stringing my intellectual bow with information and take aim at the root of the problem. Hopefully arrow flies true and I don't shoot myself in the foot, lol.

I don't feel blue much, but I guess I'd do something I enjoy to get over it. Something small like go for a drive, hike, watch a favorite movie, or whatever helps.

Do something, anything, be active. A good hike works wonders. A trip to the range, nothing like some pew pew time to brighten my day!!

I get busy I've found activities and physical exercise are the best thing for the Blues

Usually go exercise. Try to replace it with siemtikg healthy and productive.

When I'm blue, I read about neuroplasticity and remind myself that I'm just having a biochemical reaction, while I listen to frequency 528 hz which helps center and relax my energy. If that doesn't work, I go for a run. I try to active cordisol and endorphin productions.

Cats, & music.

Music and dance. Even if it’s just by myself.

Get out of the house and move. Humans are not made to sit. It causes problems.

I go fishing. The ocean is my therapy. Look through my pics and you'll know it to be true!
