| New Interests stave off depression |
Something I really haven't covered in this blog, (for those few of you who are reading it) is the definite advantage of having an 'all-consuming interest' you can turn to when you feel depressed.
I say 'all consuming', because it helps to have something that takes up all your time and energy so you have none left for depression!
Does depression take a lot of energy? Of course! Why else would we feel so drained?
However, you CAN learn how to channel that energy into more productive avenues.....
One of my long-term allies has been blogging. I have several scattered across the web. Just lately though, I have been involved in building my own website/blog and it pretty much eats my every spare minute!
I remember back in the 'bad old days', when my depression was out of control, I used to sit in front of the computer and surf for hours. I could do that, I had just gotten a divorce! After 4-5 hours had gone by, I realized I hadn't been depressed that whole time! Maybe not on top of the world exactly, but at least it was a relief!
So, that's one more tip you can use--- get a hobby, a passion, a life!
And leave depression behind you!
Hugs!
