Thank you for asking this question, especially at this time. Responses of other people are a lot helpful for me as well.
Sharing how I deal with similar situations:
I go out and try to stay out as much as possible. Working in a coffee shop gives the illusion that you are not alone. I also cook elaborate dinner involving pasta, sit down with a glass of wine and watch a movie as a picker-upper. But of late I've been using this trick a lot and it has fast hit diminishing returns. Perhaps I should use exercise as a pick-me-up.
The problem with being down is, you will be even less inclined to do the things that are most likely to help you get better.
Sometimes I reread Jerome K. Jerome. Brings back childhood to some extent and some giggles. Douglas Adams too. Or I re-purpose librivox.org as my bed time story teller. Mostly I hang out here [HN]. Then I refresh my log... people using your app can cheer you up. Learning something new helps too.
- HalcyonMuse 17y agoescapepod.org is another great "read-to-me" site. It's not full-length books; it's sci-fi short stories instead. In my opinion, it's much harder to write a good short story than a good novel. EscapePod is also great for the commute to work, road trips across the country, and exercising (if you have a routine, anyway). It rarely fails to keep my spirits up. (Even the sad stories are pretty cathartic.)
