The sensation of whatever you're sad about may feel overwhelming, but with the right ingredients you can make your day a whole lot better!
Here are some things that I'm sure will brighten up your gloomy inner atmosphere:
1. BAKE / EAT GOOD FOOD while sobbing in the corner
It's scientifically proven that eating something that tastes nice can really boost up your endorpfine levels, which causes the wonderful sensation of good mood. Especially chocolate. But the again, what doesn't chocolate cure? ;)

2. A GOOD REST
Tiredness causes stress and can intensify depression, so resting and relaxing is really important!
Not only your mind, but also your body needs lots of sleep to feel good, so why not take a nap after you've munched down some biscuits?
3. TALKING TO FRIENDS
Propably the most important and effective out of all these tips. Even if you feel like they don't really want to listen to your problems, they do.
And if you are ashamed of possibly crying, remember this wise quote:
“Do not apologize for crying. Without this emotion, we are only robots.”
― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love

And after a while of talking to the people close to you, you can see the problems feeling less and less signifigant.
True story.
4. MUSIC
Last but not least: good music. It doesn't necessarily need to be by your "ALL TIME FAVOURITE BAND", it just needs to make you feel better. What could possibly be a better way to relax and let go than music?
Here's some of the songs that always have, and most likely always will cheer me up. I don't know why but they just do that. :)
