I find sunlight and hormones helps for me, but that doesn't mean it will for everyone. And it's not about ignoring all the suffering in the world, it's just about seeing it through a different filter. When I'm depressed my filter is more negative and I notice the suffering more and feel more despair, but I have a more positive filter, seeing how things are better than ever before and getting better, when I'm not depressed.
I let my thoughts wander, and pay attention to the world around me. I've been forced to do this since I can't wear earbuds while my ear piercings heal.
I like how it interpreted 'scarf' as 'trans flag scarf' 😭
