Helping someone out, in whatever way you can, can help you feel just a little bit better. it acts as an emotionally cathartic, helping you let out your low mood and negative emotions, and making you feel good.

Writing is another cathartic method. Just let your emotions flow with the tip of your pen. Write about your day, as it comes to your mind, it need not be creative.
