Thank you for the advice, labug. My T definitely agrees with the lens advice; we've discussed how I've been depressed for so much of my life that I tend to return to that as default state. Do you have any advice on how to clean one's lens?
Meditation, mindfulness, yoga.
Give yourself 21 days and commit to meditating everyday. You can start out for 10 minutes/day and there really are no rules other than focus on your breath and watch your thoughts but don't get caught up in your thought. Acknowledge them and let them go.
There are some online guides to starting a meditation practice and you can do guided meditation of silent meditation. I do a little of both.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
