Bad days and weeks for me are, at this time of life, psychological rather than physical, which leads to an entirely different state of affairs. For beating them, the best remedies are often thumping pixels into the ground in various video games, or drinking sodas and eating fried foods or chocolate, volume of play or eating sometimes proportionate to the degree of the Bad.

Failing that, sometimes all I need is to take a break away from the thing frustrating me and to go snarl at something else alone for a while. (I haven't quite been able to convince Sig. Other of this, because zie says my mood affects animals and zie, so it often sounds like zie forbidding from getting angry at anything, which is not healthy.)

Other useful measures involve making plans on how to handle the Bad and having someone listen and offer constructive suggestion on fixing problems.

All of that, however, goes out the window if the Bad is causing a depression. Only something external that validates he self-worth can really help with that.
