Irene, try this experiment: completely change all the media you watch. Stop watching CNN. Instead get your news through Drudge report, IHT, and Breitbart. Force yourself not to watch any TV news. Then after one month, switch again. It'll do wonders for your black moods, and probably also for your view of current events. The problems will still be out in the world, but note how your assessment of them changes. For Julie, try the above suggestion also, but add extremely hot baths late at night.
