Hi everyone. Hope you all have good starts to your days today 
You probably won't remember me but I made a number of posts a few weeks back about how I was having a horrendous time at uni as a fresher. In the end I was so desperately miserable and hated the course so much that I dropped out. I don't regret my decision and I've been feeling better since I left, but having a really really down day for no reason today 
What types of things help you guys to cheer up?

I don't regret my decision and I've been feeling better since I left, but having a really really down day for no reason today What types of things help you guys to cheer up?--> rethink it all logically and make a plan of action
--> friends
--> small achievements (tidy room, good meals, bakery, sport)
--> watching feeling good movies
Poncho: maybe TLG is so awesome that she is great at discerning awesomeness in others, and thus can rightfully bestow the title of AWESOME upon them, including a certain Poncho who is certainly awesome? 
Glad you have been feeling a bit better since you left uni
Nathanielle is right about small achievements. Just try and find joy in the little things of life.
In addition to watching feel good movies, you should make a feel good playlist on iTunes

The film 'Yes Man'! It never fails in cheering me up, plus it causes me to say yes a little more often for about a day after watching it haha
How are you anyway? I haven't spoken to you in a while and well I kinda just wanted to say hi

I've never heard of it, let alone seen it! Maybe I need to educate myself
I'm OK thanks - physically ill with an infection that makes me feel like absolute ****, but otherwise OK thanks. How are you?

The film has Jim Carrey, Zooey Deschanel and Bradley Cooper in it. It's a lovely film to be honest but alternatively there's a book of the same name which the film is based on
Everyone seems to be having infections recently!! Some of my family has had ear infections due to the cold winds and rain. I'm glad you're feeling okay though
I'm feeling all right I guess. Somethings are overwhelming and a real struggle, but I feel like I need to change my lifestyle a bit. Not for other people, but really for myself I guess...like running or something because then i'll be by myself and outside all rolled into one

Running
I asked my GP today to refer me to a gym that's nearer my home, so hopefully I might somehow get some kinda motivation to exercise from somewhere Original post by The_Lonely_Goatherd

I asked my GP today to refer me to a gym that's nearer my home, so hopefully I might somehow get some kinda motivation to exercise from somewhere I pick a great time to try running though when it's the wet,cold and windy season
I tell you one thing though, when I was using a gym on a day where everything and everyone was making me upset/angry n'all, I got soooo much motivation and adrenaline that I managed to row and cycle longer than I usually did Obviously some people are different and channelling all the negative emotions you feel into exercise might not work or be beneficial for people, but that instance it really did for me. I felt so much better afterwards cause I used up all my emotions and got tired really quickly and didn't think about bad things as much

I'm sure it would do all the good things you say. It's just, I'm really lazy. Possibly the laziest woman on the planet

Glad you had a great time too. I ate probably about the same amount of cured ham as you did lobster. Went round all these tiny Spanish villages where all they sold was carpets and ham - there was even a 'ham experience' where you could go round the massive butcher's, watch a whole video about ham, and then visit the ham shop at the end. Brought my sister back some ham at the end of the holiday - she asked if I wanted some, and I said no ****ing way!

What is it you don't want about your birthday? If you don't want people making a fuss of you, you could try telling them that, and ask to just be given one or two small presents and give the money they would have spent to charity or something. If it's the growing older, I'm afraid I can't help there! Hope Rory feels better soon - if you/he wanna talk you can always PM me. Do your family have skype? I talk to my sister regularly, which I find is almost as good as seeing her.Original post by superwolf What is it you don't want about your birthday?
