...What do you guys think or do to get over those not-so-great days?
I count my blessings. Seriously. I speak out loud to myself, focus on the things I have to be truly grateful for and say "Yeah you're having a crappy day but look at the things that you do have going for you in life: you have a great husband, wonderful kids, your health, you aren't rich but you have what you need, you're intelligent, have a good job, a fabulous supportive family, etc." I know that a lot of people out there don't have all of that, so in comparison I am very lucky indeed. It's basically just putting life into perspective and not letting the little things cloud an existence that is, on the whole, a very good one.

But what about people who don't have a great husband/wife, don't have kids, don't have a family?
It's tough being single. Feeling alone. I think single women and men should go ahead and admit that. There are other positive things in life to be thankful for.
But at the same time, it is all too easy for a single person to focus on what's missing. It's the elephant in the room. Best to just admit it and make peace with that, I think.
when you're single it seems like the end of the world. I remember those days. But then you're with someone and you can't even remember about why being single felt so terrible because all you can focus on is being with the person and how happy you are.
embrace being single for it is the path to being with someone.

The point is to take the focus off the negative and look at and be grateful for the positive. Everybody has positives in their life - some of these might be:
health
clean air to breathe
fresh water to drink
you live in a free country
your legs work
you have eyes that can see
Ahhh...the joys of PMDD...that's me every month, it's very difficult. I'm trying pharmaceuticals but so far nothing's worked yet, haven't gotten the right combo going yet, so in the meantime, alcohol sometimes does the trick!!! Oh and chocolate and salty things. But for the most part I just have to ride it out. Sucks, but that's life in the big city.
Eh, not so much, the depression is always right there trying to pull me in and drag me down. I need to make some changes in life starting with where I live and my job. Been checking out Florida...
