I’m depressed right now so that’s part of it. But I feel like I just exist, I just go through the motions in life. I do everything right (exercise, social functions, counselling etc) but it’s not a particularly enjoyable life.

    Do something enjoyable then. I know that’s easier said than done, but list things that you’ve always wanted to do, and do as many as you can. If you need, lower your expectations, or budget, or whatever so that those goals are achievable.

      This is great advice as long as you can find pleasure.

      This has what’s gotten me through. I recommend that everyone have a creative outlet. The second-hand market is great.

      Let me second this and emphasize the following:

      • do anything
      • do it whenever you have even the slightest impulse to do it
      • do it for as long as you want to, even if it seems like no time at all
      • do it for yourself

      … then stop.

        Do what you want, then stop when you aren’t having fun. You can come back to these later when the impulse comes again.
