I was caught up in some stupid ban, so I haven't been on here in about six weeks. Today I got on, yay! That being said, I can't say that glp has made me feel better about life. If anything, it is extremely depressing to see the amount of intolerance and racial slurs, and anger that just fills so many posts. But, it is interesting if you stick to the "out there" stuff, and you can learn things here you'll never see on the "normal" news. I never knew about Niribu until I came here. Yes, I'm ashamed!
So, OP, I think you need to take the advice of the poster who said to get out in the fresh air, as that usually helps me to think more clearly. Good luck to you.
