sad or very down what do you do? Do you talk to anyone etc? Are you able to hold a happy smiley (fake) face infront of others?

Go for a walk, or a lie down..if it still bothers then Talk to someone but if needs being say .. some guests have arrived ..make a brave face and all is swell ..
but usually i bottle it all up ..and when i do talk to someone .. they have alot to listen to ..well they love listening and i love talking to them :D
Re: When you're feeling very...
I like to talking to friends/SO when I am sad. I can NOT pretend to be happy when I am not. It just doesn't happen.
Recently, I started journalling every time I feel sad or any other negative feeling. It helps TREMENDOUSLY.

Yup. I can't for the life of me keep a happy face for too long if I feel like crap. However, it's so much easier to say yes I'm fine and just get on with it.

Why are you sad?
Re: When you're feeling very...
I usually dont talk to anyone about it, dealing with my low mood ranges from a nice hot shower, to a long drive, music, praying, playing racquetball, just going alone to have a coffee. Think about everything that I have to be thankful for and the sadness goes away. I also may just call up my bro or parents and talk to them about this and that, but not that I am stressed or sad. GS is probably the one place I am open with my feelings every so often.
as far as fooling others with fake smiles, I am so good at it that I even fool myself :)
Re: When you're feeling very...
Talking is overrated. Some quality with the punchbag holds more value.
Re: When you're feeling very...
^A good remedy for anger and frustration.
Watch a funny movie or a funny show. Temporary relief- but it works. Talking doesn't work unless you have someone who holds the same pov and can empathize.
Re: When you're feeling very...
Watching an episode from friends always cheers me up.
Ji Allah na karay, Allah ki barkat ho mujh pe, Khudaa na khuwaasta who said it was me? :khums:
Its Life and relationships so I was speaking generally
Re: When you’re feeling very…
Yeah, always works for me too. 
Honestly, my favourite way of dealing with being down is to watch anything involving comedy, with junk food and my mobile/laptop switched off. If I don’t even have enough energy for that then, I’ll just sleep it off.
I can’t pretend I’m happy, but then again I’ve never really been tested if I’m honest. Usually when I’ve been down, I’m around my own family.. and so I never have to pretend or put on a happy face in front of them, nope.. I can be as grumpy as I like 
Re: When you're feeling very...
I just remind myself its just another moment in a long day. Next day is yet to come and will not necessarily be as bad.
And next day somehow is always better. :)

Happiness is my job to take from this world. No one is supposed to give me that in a platter. Only I can make a difference for me.
In essence, I do not wait for happiness to come to me. I walk up to it. And say: Come hither! :)
Re: When you're feeling very...
long drive and just think about whatever's bothering me, if it's really super super personal and private, that, or i just cry myself to sleep if i'm feeling really low.
or else i talk my heart out to a friend or my mom.
Re: When you're feeling very...
I forgot to mention that reading two very specific book helps me too, just open at any point in the book and start reading..
hitchhikers guide- douglas admans
illusions- richard bach
Re: When you’re feeling very…
anybody watch stand up comedy?
like ellen degeneres, russel peters, ahmed ahmed, maz jobrani always do the trick for me personally, those people are pros at making somebody feel good.
OR one of X2’s funny posts 
Re: When you're feeling very...
Sad = Anger. I am usually sad because I am angry. So if I sort out my frustrations, my sadness goes away.
I like to dream nice things and shout. Oh and scream too. Talk to few people to get my venting done. Then I am okay.
Re: When you're feeling very...
I try not to talk to anyone when I am down. Mostly I just sit down and think, and make myself more miserable. But I think and process everything until I am pretty much over it. Otherwise I go for a swim which really helps.
Re: When you're feeling very...
i cry
listen to loud muzik
go for window shopping(it helps the most)
talk to my best friend
eat alot (junk)
