This is probably a really broad topic, but I was thinking about how when you're arguing with people, often times they can drag you down to their level. I wonder if the same applies also for your mood. Because I think that a lot of times how I feel during the day depends a lot on external factors influencing how I feel.
I guess the easiest solution to this problem would just be to avoid things that could possibly give you negative feelings. I don't think that's really a good solution though, I think it would be nice to know of some sort of actual method of keeping your head above the water in terms of controlling how you feel when it comes to just dealing with every day external stimuli effecting how you feel.
It seems very hard to control your own emotions. If something makes me upset, sometimes I am able to just choose something different to focus on to take my mind off the thing that's making me upset. But then other times it's extremely difficult to get off the negative thoughts, and I just get caught in a vortex which I guess leads to depressed moods.
