Do you exercise? That always makes me feel better, at least for a little bit. I am reading a memoir right now and where I am at in the book he is in jail. 23 hours in confinement with nothing to do but think. I was trying to put myself in his shoes. How the hell would I deal with that if it was just me and my thoughts all day long. Nothing else but silence. I would go mad! At least we have things to distract ourselves when these thoughts start to overwhelm us.
