Individualism is a good way to get depression. Meet new people, make friends, go to public places. Humans evolved as a social species.

Also, find some ways to chill in nature wherever you can. Humans didn't evolve in a concrete and plastic environment.

So I got myself a couple of parasites, killed my neighbour and stole his wife.
