      I feel just keeping my head down + constantly asking, "What can I do to make someone's day better?" is the best approach to this dark era.

      I want to change the world but I can't make it stop raining, so I'm just going to try to make every action I take count for someone.

          We can't control the weather or other people's actions. But we can control what we do. Every little good action counts.

          Once the cycle was broken it helped me set up a life style that is functional. I game my PTSD and depression now and I usually win.
