What is the best thing that I can do about it? Should I stop completely to read philosophical stuff and try to focus my attentions on other things? How can I do that?

Thanks!
Hi David,

Depression is sneaky, sneaky, sneaky. I think you'll find that even if you stop thinking about your philosophical ideas, you'll soon get anxious about something else entirely. I do think I understand how depression's tricks work and what to do about it though. You might like this:
