Go outside more. Exercise to exhaustion. Stop feeding negative thought patterns. Have fun.

  It's surprising how often this kind of thing gets recommended. Exercising to exhaustion often puts me in a bad, frustrated mood, and I have to spend the rest of the day recovering some shred of good humour.

    Interesting - that’s never happened to me. I hadn’t ever heard this valid criticism. Perhaps exhaustion isn’t the right way to phrase it but a brisk walk almost always elevates my mood and frees my mind from the repetitive negative thought process cycle.

      I don't know what it is. Maybe it's low blood sugar, or being left alone with my thoughts for too long at a time.
