When I'm in a state I don't like I do my Rutabaga Routine. The word, "rutabaga" always makes me smile, no matter what but the "routine" is not so much fun. I think of things I really really do not want to do (clean bathrooms?) and figure that since things can't get any worse, I might as well do them since I can't get in a worse mood. It's kind of along the lines of "when heck freezes over" and heck has frozen over. If you don't want visitors, I'd get visitors or if you don't want to go out, I'd go out; I wouldn't allow sleeping, etc. Eventually I get interested in something I do want to do/think about.
