I hate self pity. Its no honour. Never been a fan of it. Life goes on and it will for me

Mags considering the amount of pain you frequently have and the lack of sleep I don't know how you stay so cheerful...

It's taken me a long time, but now I'm able to recognise that all things, including feeling low, will end and there is always a better time to look forward to.

Love the positive and helpful comments here. Thanks to all who posted them.
I would never dream of saying that to anyone else, I just answered the question being asked "What do you do to help yourself when you're feeling low?"

Re: feeling low

Yes, we all have our pain and life experiences. I'm actually proud about how most of us cope. Myself included. No one is immune to life experiences.

I've tried those Myrtle. I'm convinced it worked for before my driving test. I like the pastilles.

Mags I think we all do. It's an instinct I feel.

Re: feeling low

I go for long walks, feed the squirrels and the ducks in the park and eat chocolate, then I'm back to normal!
