Hi Greg, it's silly but crying works wonders for me. Once I have cleared my mind through that then I do stuff that makes me happy, sometimes I go out and just reconnect with nature.

If you have dogs they are absolutely perfect companions, I don't know if they know you're sad or not but the fact that they seem so unaffected and will just shower you with nothing but love ---- no advice, no pity, nothing ---- sometimes that's all I need.
