It's supposed to be the other way around.

The modern times, KUSA, the modern times...
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

2nd vote for lowering expectations. Get those babies down low enough and you will never experience disappointment.

Visit a retirement home. It can put things into a new perspective.

I do a lot of different things -- practice serenity and gratitudes, go for a hike, play my guitar -- sometimes I get a song out of it -- write, or read, putter around the house or work on a project.

I suppose the important thing for me is not exactly what I'm doing, but that I'm doing something.

Do you mean being bummed out or about to lose it?

Bummed out is a pretty mild feeling for me. I feel bummed out when I want to go outside but it's raining.

It's when it feels like the world is crashing in that I reach for something to make it better.

I'd rather not say what I reach for when I'm in deep despair.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I'm weird... I'm so weird, I should be studied and copied! Tongue

This has been a constant since College days... when I get stressed, I get sleepy. Total super awesome natural solution! Sleep it off!
Once properly rested, the problem(s) is(are) easier to solve, I can think clearer.
Nowadays, I'm almost always sleepy... anti-histamines do nothing to enhance that drowsiness... which is awesome in it's own way, as they also do their proper job when needed.

Like "Chain" used to say in their song: Grab a snatch and hold it!
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
