Swirling and Twirling

So many thoughts swirling around my head it's unreal. I know I shouldn't say some of what I am thinking but it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep biting my lip. Other people's bitterness is rubbing off on me and I don't like it. Things have never been better personally yet I fear I am becoming tired and weary of all the drama and unhappiness that seems to be prevalent at the moment. I know I have toughened up a lot recently and also gained a lot of confidence - largely because of my managerial position at work - but empathy is becoming harder and harder to find. In one way I have become a better person yet in so doing, I fear I have lost the one trait that I admired about myself. People have told me I care too much - they're probably right. But it's also something I can't really turn off. I guess being a passionate guy is part of who I am.

So, regarding the general state of unhappiness around at the moment - what can we do to remedy it?
