It's Saturday. See if you can find a distraction. Go out for a little walk. Clean. Find a movie or show to get into, at least for a bittle while.

I had a good pal at the hospital whom we called the Loch Ness Monster. He was brilliant and educated and witty and a joy to talk to. But noone would ever talk to him, because he constantly paced around giggling and chatting animatedly to his voices.

I began to chat with him and I soon noticed that, once he was engaged in something else, like talking to me, say, all the giggling and the chatting to the voices totally stopped. He had severe, severe voices, but, with some distraction, they got so much better, that he was able to speak very intelligently with others and not be bothered.

Point is, doing a distracting activity may well actually have a neural pathway basis for making us feel a bit better. You switch to different pathwasy when you are working in the garden/on your car/looking at flowers and babies on your walk, etc. When you shift to thsoe happier pthways, you feel better, as the crappy pathways are firing less strongly or often or whatever it actually is. There is probably a good scientific rationale for trying to do something other than sit around and feel like sh**.
