It could always be worse…
you COULD have a terrible pain in all the diodes down your left side…
Bosda - the power of Mordor compells you! The darkness of Mordor compells you to be happy!
We shall not tolerant nor assent to any state of depressiveness on your part. We strenuously and most vehemently object to any such state of mind on your part. We fell this way because We have over the course of Our most august presence on this message board most thoroughly enjoyed your posts. Whereas We may not always agree with what you may desire to say, we do, indeed, appreciate and value your statements nevertheless. In addition, your humor has brought Us much pleasure and amusement.
It is therefore with utmost solemnity that We find that it behooves Us to plead with you to quit this state of depressiveness and come forth into the light of joy, wherein you shall continue to bless all of existence with your presence and words. Concerning yourself over issues that you cannot in any way change or improve shall do nought but cause despair, which despair is futile and useless. Focus, therefore, yourself upon yourself, and seek, therefore, the ameliorate your condition as well as the condition of those around you, of those many people whom your words and comments touch.

Oh yeah, sure, just so that your unholy forces can destroy us, right Sauron? :dubious:
Ease off, Scott. He’s only got one eye.
I’m glad to hear you’re feeling a bit better.
I find punching the hell out of the punch bag at the gym helps when I’m feeling down.
Every once in a while, I find that I’ve had too big of a dose of world news, which I can’t do much about. I start feeling helpless about it all.
I find that I have to reevaluate. What CAN I do? I can make sure that my friends and family know I’m thinking about them. I can help raise my friends and families children to be smart, fun, interesting, responsible people. I can wave to my neighbors. I can hold the door for a stranger with his hands full of groceries. I can let someone into traffic in front of me, with a smile. I can tell a joke to the person at the next gas pump. I can donate to a charity that makes a difference in someone’s life. I can listen to a co-workers problems.
I’m probably never going to be rich. Most likely I won’t ever be famous. I CAN leave this world a better place when I leave, even if it’s in small ways.
Here is another option, in addittion to what you already said:
You can alwas lick you arm. After all, you taste of chocolate, and choclate cheers everyone up.
"your arm, not “you, arm” :smack:
You probably won’t come around to this until you are 80. I no longer fret about things that I can’t do anything about. Finding out what it is that I can do something about and then doing something about them takes about all the energy I can muster.
I try to keep my sidewalk clean even if I have to clean off some shit from others’ sidewalks from time to time.
