how can you survive the times now

i'm sure you will agree the times now are quite depressing, so much going on globally,we're in an age where you get news alerts / bulletins 24hrs, it's hard to escape it...society here in the uk seems to be a dark, depressing miserable place right now, people seem downtrodden....and if you cope with mental disorders like i do on top of that, with no social contacts or support, your in your late 40s and just have your elderly mother, who lives far.

how can you survive? me, i live in the past, are very old fashioned in how i think and feel nostalgic a lot.
