Hmm. When I get into an inept funk, I do one of two things. I either start cleaning and tidying, or I write. Either is guaranteed to lift me, one because I'm making my personal space nice to inhabit again (it is frequently a horrible mess), and the other because I'm creating something outside of myself, giving vent to my feelings, and exploring my ideas in a tangible way. Order and creation are excellent ways to lift one's mood, rather than simply indulging yourself and wasting time. Masturbation is okay, but if you're of a self-punishing bent, and in a bad mood to start with, it might just make you feel worse.
