In reply to the discussion: I'm getting depressed.... I feel like evil is winning... [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)12. Whenever I start getting depressed
I stop listening to the news or spending as much time in DU. I take a break and do things I like to do. Take a walk and listen to the sounds of everything. Reconnect with your hobbies and talents. Watch movies. Enjoy mundane things. Do some gardening. Plant flowers.
It will help a lot. Theres no need to be steeped in this shit all the time. Itll still be here when you get your mood stabilized.
