    There are no answers except to be busy with your brain and mind positively unthink them. If i get down . There they are. We do make them ourselves to some extent. Hate them and do something positive. Even go for a wet walk,a trip into town,something that takes time and listen to a podcast. a funny one or a life lesson. There are LOTS of us
