Yes. Must tune out any bullshit that doesn't belong in your personal bubble.
Vote, but, ignore politics as a whole.
Try to avoid news.
Figure out a way to get out of the house. Doesn't need to cost $$. Walks. Visit a local park.
Realize you do not have to put up with anyone's personal drama. Not even family.
Get a cat. Unconditional love. Easy maintenance and can be fine alone for long days or even a long weekend with the proper prep.
Live for yourself!
This but dogs
Dogs are cool but they add an additional burden of finding someone to watch them when they can't be taken. I think cats provide a similar bond as dogs and are much less maintenance.
Also, you don't have to take the cat out back and shoot him when he bites your nephew's face
