today, literally starving myself of any and all things good for me. I've stopped eating, I'm barely drinking anything, I broke up with my gf. Today
at work I finally collapsed... I turned pale white, my wrists are as thin as Death, and my eyes look sunken in.
To hit a more important note:
Stop logging into news and conspiracy websites, and stop watching sensationalistic news. the world has ALWAYS been rough if you only see the rough
bits.
Imagine living in the time of Ghengis Khan or the Roman Empire (and not being in said empire..yet).
Point is..global news will always get you down..and since you seem to take it personally, will seem like its happening right in your home. Your gonna
drive yourself crazy (not to mention those around you) for ultimately what is just history forever repeating itself with new actors on the same dusty
stage.
I suggest planting a garden..watching comedy, maybe catch a movie or go fishing...your mental health is critical..the worlds latest clashes is
not..don't worry..that will be going on long after you and I aren't here to worry about it..
As far as religion...well, if you find no joy in religion, and it isn't making you a truly happier person..then don't pick one up is my
advice...religion is meant to be a crutch for people whom think life is unfair (the "buck up, there is candy at the end of this journey, so keep
trudging on" mentality).
Sorry about a slightly off topic post..but your first paragraph did make it part of the topic (depression), and is in my opinion far more important to
address than religion, politics, or whatever flash sensational terror fetish the tube wants to impress on you so you will buy their commercial product
placement.
