what's a good way to get someone out of an emotional funk?

any ideas?

What exactly is an emotional funk?

Nevermind.

I knew someone who was once in a "funk."

Sometimes it just takes time

a hooker and a 8-ball

Count your blessings, dick.


I mean tell the person in question to do so. And what is the 1st world problem?

Exercise. Physical activity.

blowjob party

Keep busy/take up a hobby. Get outside and do something active. Volunteer your time somewhere/give your time and attention to others.

Drugs.

Moving to China.

I hate to agree with this fuck-head, but yeah: physical activity is highly recommended.

Chin up

Seriously though, break your bad habits, don't do things that make you feel fucked up.

Trust me. Every 6 months or so I somehow find myself back where I started with something that makes me really pretty much hate myself. I want out of this cycle so fucking bad, two and a half years of this shit have left me fucking stunted. Every time I think I've made it out it comes back.

Strong pills, low lights and loud basslines.

Yea this does work... Was on cloud 9 tonight, even though the headliner DJ wasn't great, but it was some seriously nice percussive techno with dark as fuck basslines.

Course the 15 minute walk home made me sober up and I depressed myself out by the time I got home.

Conclusion: need stronger drugs.

I think your problem Nou, is you've never had real problems. Going through tough shit makes most people more emotionally resilient and develops their self efficacy. How do you know your limits, what you can cope with, and what you can be proud of yourself for if you've never really been pushed that far? It also gives you perspective on what actually matters and should make you more appreciative/grateful of the present and what you've got.


LIFE LESSSSONSSSS.

NA NA NA NA NA!

And yes.

Not everyone can be consoled in the same way. For me personally, I like to be left alone if I'm in a funk, I eventually get over whatever is bugging me if I just stay by myself and reflect on things. If I need to vent, I usually talk to either my husband or a close friend, someone who won't be judgmental and instead offer their support and advice. Sometimes you just need to know someone is there for you.

If you know what your friend's hobbies and interests are, try to arrange something based on what he/she likes.. perhaps a nice outing with friends, a concert, a hike, some kind of physical activity etc..

Lube up and slip it in baby

Lol, believe me, I've had real problems. The one I'm talkingabout is rather ppetty in the grand scheme of things, but it doesn't negate the fact that it actually affects my well being despite all rational logic telling me it shouldn't. The fact that external factors plus an inability to voluntarily exclude myself from the situation makes me rather angry at myself.

Have you had real problems? Have you ever been homeless, starving, or life-threateningly ill? Ever been in any situation that jeopardized your Well-being, that you had to rely solely on yourself, with NO support to help you through it?

This isn't what this thread is about, people can get in emotional funks from the entirely mundane. It's not really a choice for some people either.

I am not sure what point you are trying to make.

Furthermore your problems don't have to be a defining factor in every facet of your life. The stupid shit I am talking about affects one part, it does affect my over all happiness, but it is not entirely defining. I still have a life outside of the problems, it's just something that every once and a while takes focus, is frustrating as fuck, and then annoys me in that arena for some time to come.
