Laughter is a very effective tonic to feeling depressed, down, tense, stressed or plain unhappy.
The physical act of laughing releases chemicals which actually alter your mood. If you are feeling down get together with friends or go see a comedy show. It won't solve all your problems but it will help you cope better. And remember, it takes far fewer muscles to smile than it does to frown.
