So, what do you guys do when ....

You have a day when you wake up simply feeling depressed for no "real" reason?
Yeah, business could be better, but for some reason today I just woke up sad. Had to take a nap, couldn't get any work done, didn't want to talk to husband, clients, anyone. Feeling sorry for myself, and I don't know why!
I'm usually the "eternal optimist." Can shake off most things, but am sitting here typing this and am *&%&%# crying!!
Would someone please kick me in the butt? Or perhaps you have a secret way of snapping out of it that you can share. All suggestions welcome.
Down in the dumps, Kris

Kris - it's not a kick in the pants that you need - it's a hug - so here's one comin' your way! 
We all have a day now and then when for now reason at all, we just feel down in the dumps.
Go make yourself a nice bubble bath - grab a good book - a glass of wine - some candles - and tell the world to Go to Hell for an hour.
Feel better soon.
Carol.

Sorry to hear you are down in the dumps. When I get that way I usually try to (yea it is hard to motivate) build something or clean up the clutter that I always seem to accumulate. Gives me something to focus on and the end result is a positive accomplishment.

While it's the opposite of going tough on myself, I take it easy on days like that. When I wake up feeling totally blah and depressed, sometimes I just stay in bed all day and watch movies. I don't do this every day, but every once in awhile, it's what I need. Then I end up turning it into a good thing by making popcorn, eating lots of "feel good" food, and watching my favorite movies. I do try to get a shower at some point, but most of all, I am NOT tough on myself...because it just makes me feel more guilty and more depressed.
Days like that, I have to be more accepting of myself than usual. Didn't get the laundry done? The world isn't going to end. Never got that shower? It's okay - I'll get one tomorrow, which is a brand new day...
Hugs from me and try to take it easy on yourself when you feel like that! We all need a little kindness from time to time - especially from ourselves!

I like to get out of my house and take a nice walk back to my old neighborhood. It never fails to cheer me up in a strange sort of way. It looks terrible to me. I'm sure it's not much different but after all this time viewed with my now cynical eye; it looks to me like it was hit with a weaopn of mass destruction.
I know that's a negative but negatives seem to jolt me enough to get me out of a funk.
A cheery old fart I am.

Take a deep breath and then a LONG bubble bath and have a good cry while you're in there.
Some days are like this.
Herbal tea helps some....

It's better than not feelin' anything at all.
Everybody gets a little blue now and then. But my favorite blue is the color of dawn, cool air and a cup of coffee. It's the closest to feeling as though their is something bigger than me I find out there.

Kris,
I've been there...
Usually I read a good book, watch few episodes of my fave comedy Will & Grace or a good movie. Or I write to my diary how I feel, listen to music or watch something good on TV and eat something I like. Basically, I just relax.
Those days come and go, I'm sure that you'll feel better soon.
Best wishes,
Sanna

Thanks everyone - for the suggestions and hugs. Feeling much better today. I think a really good cry helped more than anything - even though my eyes were all puffy and red this morning.
And - Kevin - loved the pics. It really did remind me that soon the Lake Michigan permacloud will be gone and I can enjoy the place a live again.
Hugs to all of you,
Kris
