    If I am really sad, there is a special place in a nearby park that is relatively private where I go by myself in my car with a box of tissues and I just talk it out with my higher power of choice and cry. I find that it helps me to re-center myself and I am often given insights and I feel better. Things might still suck but I feel as if by giving myself permission to grieve / be angry I can come back into the world more peaceful and better centered and ready to face whatever I need to face.

    I talk to a friend, watch a comedy, get a alcoholic drink or work out. Depends what kind of sad I am (sounds weird I know)

    true. but sometimes numb = happy, or at least numb > sad. but it definitely isn't the answer in the long run.

    When I am sad I sometimes let myself wallow a bit and "feel" the emotion.
    My moods change quick tho, I am a pretty optimistic person. My main motto is that life is good and it is a privilege not a right. Not everyone gets to live.
    That usually changes my sad feelings pretty quick. Being appreciative that I am alive and able-bodied and healthy.
    I like being able to "feel" the emotions of sadness and happiness and to recognize how engrossing emotion can be. I'm usually pretty stoic, no real noticeable highs or lows.

    Three steps...

    1) Think - Is this really something to be sad about?
    2) If yes, take a moment to cry because sometimes it's a good stress reliever. If no, then snap the hell out of it and think "chick....there are times of the month for that!".
    3) Remember everything I have to be grateful for and that there are others who could only dream of having the necessities in life.

    When I'm down and troubled and I need a helping hand, and nothing, nothing is going right.
    I close my eyes and think of you and soon you will be here to brighten up even my darkest night
    I just call out your name and you know wherever I am
    You'll come running, oh yeah baby, to see me again

    Winter, spring, summer or fall all I've got to do is call and you'll be there, ye, ye, ye
    I've got a friend

    I listen to music. It's therapy for me. I find a song, cry my eyes out and then I feel better. Sometimes music is the only thing that gets you.

    I grab a cigar and go for a walk. Work has been helping me get in about 18 miles a week.

    Cigar walks are the best!
