I work with people who suffer from anxiety and depression, my advice...
1. Limit your exposure to news.
2. Look up 'Radical Acceptance' and 'Mindfulness' as it pertains to DBT.
3. Practice some kind of meditation.
4. Seek out things that make you feel awe. I read an article last year that said it's impossible to feel anxiety and depression at the same time you're feeling awe. The vastness of the universe, the amazing implications of quantum physics... find something.
5. Similar to #4. Notice when you're focusing your attention inward on yourself and focus it outward. Do something nice for other people, get out of your own head.
Good luck.
