I must say mate – you really need to try and re-focus some of your negative energy in to at least ‘good enough’ – as it seems what ever anyone suggests isnt gonna ‘do it for you’

ps I do agree my negative attitude is not helpful but I cant imagine how I am meant to change it, though I do endeavour to try. And I dont always feel so negative. Problem is it just seems to me there are a lot of losers in this world who have horrible lives and logically it is at least more likely than average that I will become one of them (UK wise). Doesn’t mean I am not going to do my up-most to try and stop that happening. But it also doesn’t make for the happyist of bunny’s nor the most optimistic of people. And yet I am aware faith in ones self and confidence; plus the ability to keep fighting for what you what are essential to success. But these things are very hard when you have a history of depression. And so it all spins round in my head. I just hope mindfulness is as good as it seems for that seems to offer a solution to it all. *rambles on*

maybe you should visit some museums or do something like that to spark your interest, or just take up a hobby that you never would have thought of before. find a passion in something. just looking up at the night sky makes me feel so excited and enchanted because it’s beautiful and fascinating and people call it useless but i want to learn as much about space as i can. explore everything that’s out there and something might click in you 🙂 be creative. even if it doesn’t get you a job, it will motivate you more and maybe make you feel happier about yourself.

been hunting for a passion all my life, only one I have ever discovered is drugs. Looking for passion when you have depression can be a little tricky I think, on reflection. I do enjoy museums though and try and visit them from time to time.

well visit more museums! collect something, join a club or a team or just set yourself a goal 🙂 depression feels like it’s all-encompassing but it’s not.

museums, and getting to them, costs money. Money I have not got. No idea what club or team I could join though I like the idea of some kind of social sport type thing. Can never find anything when I look into it though sadly.

noo museums are free. well most of them. you pay to go into certain parts but i’m sure (last time i read) most are free, like the natural history museum or.. my favourite.. the science museum!
look around at local community centers and stuff.. maybe join a gym or a cycling team or a running team or rugby or something that catches your eye. there are lots of things out there that aren’t openly advertised.. like book clubs, cooking classes, astronomy groups, painting classes.. just google around. maybe volunteer somewhere to give yourself more motivation.. like at the rspca center or something 🙂 sorry if these sound like stupid ideas to you.

You have to pay for a lot of museums these days and getting to london is expensive. There are a few local ones but their a bit crap and have already been. I am a member of a gym going to start again tomorrow now I can go up a flight of steps without feeling like death. Cooking classes are also expensive. Hopefully going to do some volunteer work soon but I am still about unsure about it all really. We shall see, cheers for the ideas.
