This is the correct response. If you cannot do these things as you were meant to, you would still be more content to work towards the things you were meant to do. Furthermore, we all know shits going to get worse, much of what we all feel involves that as well. The world is collapsing around us and we can't do shit about it... But you can, you do do your best to make yourself the most ready you can be, so that you and perhaps a select few of those you care about survive. Get off all substances.. If shit collapses, you don't need even shit like caffeine withdrawal making it even worse. Get healthy, get stronger, learn survival skills, be able to run a longer distance, be ready for whatever comes.. It's not the same as directly fighting evil, which we are instinctually wanting to do, but at least it's preparing for that battle, and that's more than wasting away Also, they WANT you depressed, fat and full of anxioty, so do the opposite, if for no other reason than to spit in their eye!
