How do you cheer yourself up?

I am down on my luck and I wanted to ask you guys for some tips.  I ask because most of you are losers and I figure you often have to battle depression.  Just kidding... You guys are cool.

Based on a recent article from Cracked, watching a sad movie would actually make you happier.

Alcohol and a good pull.

I go for a long run and listen to music.

Go look at all the losers on OT?

Smacking people that call me a loser without knowing a thing about me. ;) quadraleap

loser

Left hand on flute, right hand on mouse. #1 key to happiness. Tissues are optional.

Usually buy myself a little something or go out to a fancy pub / beer place and drink / eat as much as I want. Sometimes just lay on the couch and watch a movie. I do weight training 4 days a week and cardio which help, also walking the dogs helps. I don't really get sad as often as I used to.

Wallowing alone in a pool of my own self-pity until my body's monoamine levels balance out.

loser

Something solitary that clears my mind, such as a long walk or drive, while listening to some music that fits the mood.

Pot, video games, music, watching a good tv show, exercising

well this got awkward real fast

i got two ways.

tell yourself you love yourself, say it with a smile. have an i love the world day. wake up, tell yourself today will be all about love. say that you love everything and everyone, smile think about love and how it makes you feel happy. think about someone that makes you happy and tell yourself that you love them. try to smile and not think about anything negative all day.

think about this. 

some physics believe that time as we know does not happen in a linear way. past, present and future are all one in the same, there is no difference. now think about a time in your life that you were happy. now realize because time does not happen in a linear way that that time in your past that you were happy is still happening now. it will always be happening. so now whenever you are sad just remember that you are actually happy right now at some point in time.

Go to a gym - or do some work outs in general.  Not only is it healthy, but it produces endorphins which improve your mood.  Put some upbeat music on while you're at and you're good to go.  :)

Then when you're tired play some video games... I mean we are on a gaming site after all. 

Excessive drinking

Music and hanging around my friends usually does the trick.

Pistachio by Lisa Hannigan always cheers me up :P Also, laying in a bath tub, sipping on wine while destroying noobs in an extremely violent video game helps too :P

Prozac.Makhaidos

sleeping normally does the trick.

I could show you some pictures or videos from my trips to Haiti and you would instantly feel better about yourself and your life. 

Sometimes a good wallowing pity-party makes me feel a bit better.

Other times, I watch cartoons. I suppose because it takes me back to my childhood when things were a lot simpler. Or maybe I just like to watch cartoons.

Video games are also good. Killing DA BOSS usually makes me feel better. :D

I have got to go with this,and I suffer from depression.Usually cheers me up to a point.Hope you feel better.

Draw, or watch Star Trek, Star trek always cheers me up, but when I finsh watching it I feel like shit again

Pig myself on chocolate and go to sleep.

good food, passionate sex, relaxing video games and music.

a more accuate answer would be: i dunno, because what makes you happy is not something i have any kowledge on

Videogames, reggea, ganja.  All at the same time.
