KajunQueen: What do you do when you get the BLUES? The BLAHS? Or the DONT'S?


Pet a cat, play with a dog, watch children playing, listen to some comedy, or chat with a friend.

If that don't get drunk and start a fight.laugh

I get the blues, the blahs.
But what's the donts?
Blues : Blast club-type music and read comics. Try very hard not to think, as thinking leads to dwelling and makes the blues even bluseier.
Blahs: turn on the game systems and play, music, sometimes even bad tv will shake me out of it.
And taking a nap.
It worked when I was 3, still works now. LOL

When you have the "dont's">
You don't wanna do nothing.
My grandmother introduced me to that wordlaugh

She would say " I got the DONT'S today...I don't feel like doing nothing."

When I get the blues sometimes I wallow.

When I get the blahs I get a change of scenery.

When I experience the don't ,I don't do a thing.


Sometimes I go and do something just for ME.Like getting my hair done my nails done(including my toes)etc.

Sometimes I listen to some upbeat music or watch a funny movie or talk to a trusted friend.
Sometimes I go to a florist or shop and buy some flowers for myself or someone else.That generally makes me happy.

Sometimes I find something to try & preoccupy myself, others I want to be alone to sort out the problem that is bothering me at the moment. I know usually talking usually helps lift the burden off my shoulders, but, alot of times that is easier said than done. I say light up a cigarette, find something you know that you like to do and see if that helps change your mood.

I jump in puddles, then go inside for a nice hot bath, then I drag the duvet from the bed, get some ice cream from the freezer, put on a movie and hug a cushion.

Ice cream and jumping in puddles, works for children when they hurt, why not adults?

I head over to the gym and sweat to the oldies on my IPod as I look at the hard body's women. Sometimes I go for a long bike ride or power walk the bridge across the river.

The blues and blahs, I'll crank up music, dance in my living room, log onto CS for the forums, head out to the VFW (a club), call a friend, or turn on the TV.

The "don'ts"? Yep, I've had those. I go back to bed. Usually it means I'm fighting a cold. Or, I veg with the TV...usually can't even focus on a book then. Or, come onto CS forums. laugh
