[tomphoolery]

When I get depressed, which usually happens around this time of year, I typically enjoy talking to other hackers. We can talk about something that isn't our own mind(s). This goes for music, too. A huge key for me is to distract my mind with something that interests me, and makes me feel productive, rather than "sitting & spinning" on a subject that is making me feel bad about myself. Talking about things that interest me makes me feel better about myself.

Disclaimer: I have never been psychologically evaluated for depression or anxiety.
