Overcoming Negative Thoughts & Depression

Sometimes if you are suffering from funky thinking, depressed thoughts & negativity, just talking out your frustrations with someone can help to easy your anxiety, stress & tension. Getting some physical activity by exercising can really help to smooth out your emotions & make your feel better too. Writing your ideas down in a journal can help too! Here is an example of what I find frustrating in the world...

Unkind People 

Inconsiderate, mean, & rude people ; Arrogance, narcissism & extreme selfishness; greed, avarice, disregard of other people & nature & other forms of dysfunctional antisocial personality traits & disruptive preventable mental illness. I am a loving, kind & extroverted people who enjoys helping other people & making a strong positive difference anyway I can think of when ever I am interacting with another person or animal in nature. I try to be kind & considerate & humble & to listen to other people & learn things from other people & share powerful ideas with other people! 

Extreme Excess 

Unsustainable eco-toxic overpopulation & overdevelopment, waste & failure to recycle everything 

Unsustainable Products 

Pollution & toxic products when clean safer alternatives exist

Causing Corrosion / Long Term Costs 

Salt NaCl applied for de-icing when doing so cause corrosion in vehicles & infrastructure when Calcium Magnesium Acetate works better than NaCl but costs 3x more sadly

Lack of Financial Planning

People not educated in school about credit cards, investing & other mechanism & financial instruments that educated people use for long term financial planning, retirement income etc 

Ultra-high Housing Prices 

Doubling or tripling in prices in just the last few years making homes, even condos, unfordable to dual income families without children, making upper middle income households house poor & forcing people to live in overpriced apartments that waste their income for the benefit of a rich person who owns the multifamily housing as an investment. 

Elderly people on fixed incomes who are running a donut hole in the budget because of extreme increases in property taxes getting worse every year. Some of my older relatives pay more per month for property taxes then they were paying on the mortgage payment back then, now retired on a fixed income from 1998, while living costs are soaring, higher food & gas prices & inflation or loss of buying power of the dollar, making them effectively poorer every year- causing them to be stuck, unable to move- its affects people of all ages. Gentrification not all roses & sunshine because of how it financially harms families. 

Energy Pollution 

Acid rain from NOx & SOx pollutants from burning coal & heavy crude; tailpipe emissions 

Carbon Energy 

Resistance to decarbonization of energy when even the oil companies are promoting it

Haters & Mean People, & Racist Bigots 

Social justice warriors exerting bigotry & hatred & hate speech towards innocent people via assumptions. I did not choose my skin, hair or eye color, gender, race or other biological traits or sexual preference.

Bright & Loud Pollution 

Light & sound pollution from ignorance switching & control of systems like outdoor light & poorly designed fixtures that waste light throwing it at the sky instead of where its useful because of ignorant designers who designed poor optical control of the lamp emissions by failing to apply best ISO practices consistent with Dark Sky approved fixtures required by law in Italy. 

Dangerous Drivers 

Drunk, high & poorly skilled drivers who harm, hurt, & kill other innocent people because of mistakes they make while poorly controlling their vehicle. My little sister Erika Lynn Schwarz was killed by a teenager driving a car with bald tires as the young man was trying to go home during a snowstorm; his vehicle slid down the hill & jumped the curb onto an area where Erika was making a snow angle in the lawn & his car's bumper struck her in the head with a eventually fatal blow that ended up taking her life, even though my parents took her to the hospital immediately & the doctors performed brain surgery to try to save her & put her on life support for almost 6 months but had to pull the plug. 

Misinformation 

Fake news, lies, disinformation, & other confusing rhetoric designed to trick people about nutrition, weight loss, fitness or other lifestyle things keeping people sick in America with preventable diseases that have causing basis in abusing carbohydrates & simple sugars, not getting enough health fats or fiber & not staying hydrated by drinking enough water. The overconsumption of dehydrating beverages containing alcohol or caffeine too late in the day. 

Despots in Government 

PRC & CCP in china. Possibly the most unethical government in the world, so evil they released COVID19 on the world as a bioweapon & then deny this, when it came out of a bioweapons development laboratory in wuhan china. What the CCP does to Honk Kong, Taiwan & even the Chinese People in China horrendously unethical & immoral. I believe that all people are equal & that we are called to work together through eyes of love & kindness inspired by faith to be the best versions of ourselves to other people. I do not understand why the world allows China to conduct itself life this, other than knowing China blackmails the world because it contains the largest global manufacturing & rare earth production capacity. 

Designed to Fail Early 

Poorly made products designed to be impractical or impossible to fix or repair that have short lives & do not hold up well during normal use. Unreliable vehicles in particular, the opposite of Toyota, really annoy & frustrate me because I view them as the manufactures cheating their customers. It is true that car quality has improved a lot over the years from rust prone American made iron buckets of yesteryear to the polymer intensive corrosion inhibited excellent Toyota's of today. 

I am talking about appliances that fail after 3-7 year when models sold before the year 2005 often made to last 20+ years, especially Sunfrost fridges & SpeedQueen washers & driers for clothing, two notable bright spots in the appliance sector that still make long lasting appliances. Metal lathes & mills & CNC with plastic gears. Fitbit's with sealed batteries that fail & require destroying the unit to replace the battery- this caused me to switch to Apple Watches that are much more expensive, made of aluminum & glass & ceramic, that can be opened with a heat source, razor blade & small precise device repair tools to remove the weak battery & replace it with a new unit- also hypoallergenic bands & skin interface surfaces that do not trap sweat like those polymer bands of Fitbit's designs. 

I could go on & on with examples of designed obsolescence, inkjet printer cartridge scams, perfume scams & other debacles, but the idea just that we know how to apply science & technology to sell people quality long lasting products now, but greedy companies focused solely on maximizing next quarters earnings seems to cheat the customers & employees in this pursuit as they made fun of in the movie "Upside Down" with the fictional company Transworld // etc I think you understand what I mean!
