We build up resistances to drugs, diseases and various other things.

Do you think it's possible to build a resistance to emotion? Being made happy or sad so many times it eventually loses 99% of its potency. Older people describe it as being tired, like an old drunk saying he's too tired of being angry to be angry anymore.

Or Hinduism.

If you're suffering from depression, the book 'Feeling Good' by MD David Burns can help.
It's about cognitive-behavioral therapy, a successful treatment for depression, dealing with negative thinking patterns.

(if you don't want to use Mediafire, look for it on libgen.is - it's a good site for PDFs in general - browse/download at your own discretion).

Also listen to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qmDwl2-IZEk
It's an audiobook of 'Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway' by Susan Jeffers, a self-help book on overcoming anxiety.

You can also try some St. John's Wort (it's a plant) tea for immediate relief (I mix mine with Melissa for the calming effect).

It might also be nice to learn to meditate, as it can relieve your mind of negative thoughts. nperov.com for learning materials.

Or maybe you just have a vitamin D defficiency, see >>/sci/thread/S10221251 Go get some sun.

Definitely. Older I get, the less I'm impacted by personal shit -- like getting dumped by a girl I like or people dying.
