Today, I shall tackle the topic of sadness, in honor of the continuing reality that we are, in fact, back in school. HAHA! JUST KIDDING! (Not really.)
I am not a huge endorser of the self-help industry, based on the belief that if you can help yourself, you shouldn't need an industry to aid you in doing it. Thus, I deem this method of sadness-coping the ACTUALLY SELF-HELPING method. Or you could all spread it around as the Mayim Stith method. Hint, hint.
Without further ado, here are some ways to actually make yourself better when you're behind on everything, low on sleep, or just feeling down.
Make other people unhappy. Don't make other people feel bad for you, specifically, just drag with you a general feeling of despair wherever go you. Debt. War. The fact that Walt Disney would flip over in his grave if he could see what goes on Disney Channel today. Let it spread.
Chocolate. Of any kind. In large doses.
Hang out with other unhappy people and share your displeasure.
If you're a runner, run. Apparently it helps. For the rest of us, take your chocolate-of-any-kind-in-large-doses down to your favorite misery couch and watch movies. Watch either those stupid happy-people movies to convince yourself that they're all delusional, or watch Les Miserables. It always helps.
Become that one person who steals all the M&Ms from the trail mix. Steal all the marshmallows from the Lucky Charms. Steal all the good things to fuel your sadness. In the immortal words of my little brother, "Don't steal all of one kind from the nut mix. And if you do, make sure it's not the almonds because those are all mine."
Lefse. For all your problems in this life, lefse.
FOR EXTRA POINTS! Chocolate lefse. Nutella is the nature's gift to sad people, as well as everybody else.
Cry, just not about the thing you're sad about. Cry about something else. Cry about Les Mis. They all die! And it's so beautiful!
Before all else fails, sleep. It all gets better when you sleep.
Happy sadness.
