These are responses from the question above when I asked this in a poll. Since my sub is dying and I'm gonna be cutting off dA for a while (June 9 - July 23), I'm gonna be putting the responses here so I don't lose them.

As you know...I didn't really have a great start in my previous college and kinda nervous starting up again and also the fact that I have an attention span of a fish.

Thank You Everyone!

(The order of the most recent to least recent...)

That's the best thing to do
During the last months I've absolutely absent from everything on dA but it was still here when I came back.

Usually I get seriously mad, call my mom or my friend and rant about it, eat unhealthy but tasty food, play boxing/killing video games, walk in the park and feed the ducks, watch some animated movies and probably cry before bedtime. By morning I'll be like "the hell with it" and start cooking something that involves cheese.

But most of the times I just need a hug from those dear to me to know that everything is alright.

Good luck with college and everything you do. I'll be waiting good news from you!

Tough times. Heres what i do!

Do or watch something that makes you laugh, laugh with someone... they dont have to understand you just laugh untill you cry or get a stich.

Guilty pleasures, it may be something your too old for or something you say you hate but secretly love but do it anyways, if someone asks why just say 'because'.

Cry. Simple, if you want or feel like crying do it. you'll feel better afterwards.

Shout, not at others and not at yourself but things, find something in your room that annoys you and yell/rant at how useless it is (or at the tv), this sounds somewhat insaine but it works and you can laugh afterwards.

Talk to yourself, because sometimes no one else will understand or want to listen lol.

These work for me, im pretty happy most of the year

When I hit tough times, I have several things I can do: go for a walk, do something mind numbing, try not to think about it, face it head on, go with the flow, worry the flow is going the wrong way, work it out, sew it up, ask for help, do it myself, cry alone, cry on a shoulder, or pray. And since prayer is connects me to an all powerful creator that loves me, that one works pretty well

Rant to people who listen, then ask advice.

~fayedove
I either write about it in my journal (whether it be the actual one or my livejournal) or think "God knows what's going to happen" <--really, it makes me optimistic I'll get through it. I hope you're okay.

When I hit tough times, whether it be creatively or in life, I tend to take some time to refocus myself. I find that most issues are caused by me not being open to the solutions. I try to take a step back and remind myself of what it is I want to accomplish and why I want this thing. I tend to take a break when it is a creative issue. I find alot of my issues are from trying too hard. I focus my energy on positive things and try very hard to be patient (not my strong suit).

With life issues I try to keep a positive outlook always. In my journal a while back I wrote about the accident my husband and I were in. Recovering from that really stopped almost everything else in my life. I didn't know how I was supposed to do all the things I loved and still get better. I was frustrated because I knew I would have to put certain things on hold. I have since learned that sometimes putting things on hold can be a good thing. Sometimes that step back is what you need to remind you what is important. You regain a great deal of appreciation for things you take for granted when you are unable to do the things you are used to doing.

I have a new found appreciation for many things now and I find that my creativity issues are clearing finally. You just have to focus on yourself and doing what is right for you. Sometimes we lose sight of our dreams and goals when we are trying too hard to please everyone else. It is not selfish to put yourself first every now and again. It is necessary. Find what you want. Focus on that thing. Then let yourself be open to ALL the ways that you might get there even if they seem unlikely or something that you would not normally do. The opportunities and ways to get to what you want are limitless until YOU put a limit on them.

Dream big, reach high and TRY. You will only be a failure if you refuse to take that first step. Everything after that is just the path to where you are meant to go. The things most call 'Failures" I call life lessons and you can not attain success without it. The two exist hand in hand. Be strong, be brave and be bold.

I lay down, rest a while, think about what makes me go on and what makes me stop, and as I've never found the latter being the greatest of the two, I just went on. I remember about my friends (and forget that they can disappear), my family (and forget that most of it has a bad relationship with me) and me, and how important I am for myself, and that I shouldn't treat myself badly.

I guess that though I myself am pretty melancholic and lonely, so I actually enjoy the times I'm down, I miss and aim for the rainbow in the end.

I pray to God to break the strongholds on my mind, and I believe in his promises. I have faith that he will give me the strength to get through the trials and tribulations set before me. I keep my thoughts as positive as possible and I don't dwell on the negative situations around me because thinking about it and getting depressed over it doesn't solve anything other than making me miserable.

~The-joker121
Well...I just say to myself- "Move on! Never give up!" and just think about become better and batter all the time.

~anachancarolkiryuu
I always believe in God, and i keep strong, never giving up, i always want to prove the world that i got talent, i hear some music, and some times i turn my feelings on art, i turn all the sadness on good thing, finishing the homework, drawing pics, crying a little, watching TV and then i always pray for God to things get better!^^'

~TheShock
I believe in God and his promises. My family and my own courage. Think but not to much. paint Listen music, and breath fresh air.Pray for a better times and working hard to improve myself

~skellington1
i listen to music or i just draw out my feelings :T

~Braama
I tell myself "You can do better!" and think positive and always say "Yes I can!" if I lose or not do great then its okay next time will be great! and every cloud has a silver lining.

=TheFrenchCrab
Always think positive, no matter how bad things get, rest assured that they will get better. I'm strong-willed and determined, and I always focus on the light at the end of the tunnel.
