How to beat sadness?
It is bad to feel sad for a long time. How to beat it? Well, one of the best ways to beat sadness is by trying to understand how it works. Ready?
Actually, sadness works just like anger: It is very easy, so let me explain it to you: You get angry when you find out that someone is not acting in the way you would have done in a given situation. You get sad when you find out that someone did not do something in the way you expected, too. Or even you just feel disappointment in yourself,It is just another way to react toward something.
That said, the first tip to beat your sadness is to stop being so self-centred and to accept that not everybody will act the way you would expect him to do. They make their own decisions, even if you don't like them.
This should help you accept (second tip) that you are feeling sad because you choose to feel that way. With that, you are ready to understand you can change the way you feel again.
Analyse for a minute what is making you feel sad now. Think if you can change it or discuss it; think on the ways in which you can deal with the issue. Now you are turning your sadness into something positive, you see? You are planning a way to deal with the problem instead of just isolating yourself by feeling sad! That's decidedly good news. Continue that way.

You can buy a small lightbox and spend 30 minutes a day in front of it if you suffer regularly. They can be expensive, but people who've tried them swear by their benefit.

Try to up the amount of oily fish, like mackerel, you eat - they are high in omega 3 oils and studies have shown that it can help improve symptoms of SAD.
Even better, mackerel and sardines are both a cheap option when it comes to fish, so it won't cost the earth.
