well, you are accomplishing something. if i’m upset, i prefer to cool it down, eat chocolates or something. i definitely wouldn’t be able to work if i’m not in the mood.

Hehe… I’m pretty much the same. When something is bugging me, I’ll start either cleaning or arranging things, like putting books in alphabetical order. I have to do something in order to sort my problem out.

I wish i was more like that – I do the exact opposite to you – I indulge… which is probably not the best cos its so counter-productive! Can we trade?

I like being busy too; it really DOES help take your mind off any unpleasant things happening. But then again, I like being busy with things I like to do….like if my future is depressing me (which it is) I do not want to occupy myself with studying for the test that will determine my future D= but laundry and cleaning are good.

And yay! for Harry Potter. I hope you have loads of fun and at least for a few hours you can forget everything. haha it’s so cute that you’re dressing up!

I have been trying to do things like that too when I’m upset or thinking too much. I was reading somewhere that using your body to clean or go for a walk or something really gets rid of anxiety and channels your mind away from bad thoughts. I’m glad you do this naturally. For me, it’s something I’ve had to work at.

I’m completely the same way. I have to clean and organize when I’m upset. I can’t sulk or sit in one place or it bothers me too much. I’m glad to know I’m not alone!

I’m seeing HP today in the evening!

When I’m upset, I go to my room and sleep. :P Since I’m not lucid, I can’t worry about stuff, at least for the duration of my nap.

I tend to do a lot of cleaning when I’m upset. When I get in a fight with my parents, for instance, I go up to my room, take everything out of my closet, and then completely reorganise. It’s probably just that I’m pretty obsessive about organisation anyway, but it’s oddly soothing.

I’m seeing HP today. :D

Hooray for HP! :D

It’s funny, because I do a similar thing when I’m angry or upset – I love to clean and organize and it calms me right down. The worst, though, is that if I’m in a bad mood but there’s nothing to organize, I will literally pull stuff out of place just so I can clean it back up again.
