I'm really stressed about work lately. Combine that with the two month wait for our first EA appointment has me feeling down today. My DH is also having a rough time at work so together we are a bucket of sunshine right now. Whenever I feel blah there is one photo that I look at that cracks me up. That helps some. I also am going to treat myself to lunch.
What do you do when you're feeling down? Anyone else having a hard time lately?

@Leialou: Are those your dogs!?!?
I usually treat myself to a coffee and take a walk. I'd rather do some retail therapy, but that would get way too expensive!! If I reaalllly feel the urge to buy something I'll settle for a fun new nail polish.

@Leialou: That's hilarious. Is your dog a chihuahua? We recently got a mutt that has the blue merle markings so now I'm kind of obsessed when I see that type of coat!!

@IRunForFun: yes, she is! I love her coat. What does your dog look like?

@Leialou: hahaha OMG that picture is GOLDEN. My coping mechanism is to buy things, which is really not a good solution! I also look for something else to dive into or look forward to, like a hobby or vacation. I hope the next two months fly by for you!

@Leialou: Here he is! He has more of the blue/gray coloring on his other side but apparently he favors laying on one side because I couldn't find a great picture to show it off. His coloring was actually what first drew us to him, though!

Your dogs are adorable! Talking to friends or my husband helps me to sort things out, too.

Uh, I usually clear my schedule and relax. Talking to M or my Mom or @vegmama always helps.

Usually, I'd go shopping and buy myself a treat (of course w/ limitations). But lately, what's making me blue is money, so I usually try to watch a funny movie to LOL. Or I like to have a good cry too

@Leialou: that picture is amazing!! i hope the next couple months fly by for you and things smooth out at work. fortunately, this time of year it seems like calendars start filling up again and keeping busy tends to make time pass more quickly and distract you from things that are bothering you.
generally, i eat things i shouldn't or buy things i shouldn't. i plan things that i don't plan on really doing or having- like dream house hunting on the internet (although that's probably not a fun escape for you!) or a vacation. or i have a 'me day', i'll go shopping, buy myself something really yummy for lunch and take it to a movie, then get a pedi or do something relaxing.

Getting my hair done always cheers me up.
I've been a little down recently. I don't know if its caused by circumstances or whether circumstances are bothering me more because I'm a little depressed. Swings and roundabouts I guess.
@Leialou: Hope you feel better really soon.

Usually retail therapy does it for me! Today is a bad day for me too. Can't afford the retail therapy, so maybe a new nail polish-- thanks for the idea @IRunForFun: !!

@bunnylove08: I love that meme. Hilarious.
I treat myself with food and booze. And/ or a good book and/or a good talk with a girlfriend.

Lately it's been shopping and food. Bad for my wallet and waistline. Or I drown myself in another house project.

I usually treat myself to something(s). A pedicure, a haircut, maybe a new purse or shoes or something. And then wine...

Retail therapy and I usually talk about it with my husband since he is objective and can make me see things more reasonably.

This is one of my favorite threads to look at to make me happy and laugh out loud! Plus it first introduced me to Moon Moon! Hope you feel better and hugs!!

Pictures like yours always help!
For me it kind of depends on what's got me down. If it's something to do with the whole trying to have kids thing, sometimes I find that doing something more proactive, like researching embryo adoption or buying something healthy to eat, helps. Other times funny pictures are the way to go. Sometimes cleaning helps, even though I don't like doing it, I feel so accomplished afterwards. 
Hope you're able to feel better soon!
