Remedy for depression, anxiety, and/or job stress:
Vent to a good friend or trusted family member
Take a brisk walk, preferably through an area with natural beauty; it's a bonus if it rains
Listen to songs from U2's Joshua Tree or Bonnie Raitt's Longing in Their Hearts or Jars of Clay's self-titled debut album or Sufjan Stevens's Seven Swans
Take a long, hot shower - lather up and sing, "I'm gonna wash that [man, job, coworker, customer, family member, day, or whatever] right outta my hair..."
Get dressed in something you feel good in
Eat a Boca vegan burger, potatoes, salad, and vegetables
Drink plenty of ice water, preferably from a pretty glass
Drink coffee
Drink a double gin-and-tonic
Have a fan blowing and scent the air with a soothing home fragrance
Take a nap or go to bed early and get a good night's sleep OR read something or watch a movie that will either make you laugh or make you cry
Alternatively, you could kick a rock really, really hard. Make sure it's small enough that you don't stub your toe. Repeat as many times as necessary.
Or you could "put de lime in de coconut, drink 'em both up..."
