I seem to have lost my interest in everything. I have to figure out how to get the spark of life back. In spite of how down some of us are [self included]... if you could be doing something that is currently possible that would make you happy what would it be.

I'm having the darndest time thinking of something. I don't know if I'm just lazy or... if it's like the tree falling and no one hearing ... I don't know why I can't find something right off the top of my head.

If I could be doing something that would make me happy... do I have to be happy first or would that thing be what makes me happy. I guess if I stop trying so hard it'll come to me.

My mate Will said each day is a gift so we ought not waste it. That inpsired me some.

I am one of the ones down like you are. I think I'd be happier if I could drive away from my house without slip sliding all over the roads. I attempted to go to therapy today and I slid going up the street so I came home.

The thing that would really make me happy -- I guess continuing to plan for my vacation in April. Hubby and I didn't get to go away for our anniversary last year and we have been saving so that we could this year. We're headed to Toronto and Niagara Falls.

Im having a hell of a hard time coming up with something that I enjoy right now. No interest in anything.

I cant find a thing right off the top of my head either. I agree with your mate.

I'm in the same boat. I have lost interest in everything, my hobbies, my friends, etc... In my case I believe it's biochemical since doing these things doesn't help me feel better. But there had been times where forcing myself to do it made me feel better. Try doing one thing that used to make you happy and see how you feel after.

I'm still pretty much forcing myself to do things in spite of my depression, only because I'm afraid I'll sink further into depression if I don't.

Hope you feel better soon.

Well word around town is you don't enjoy fun and games. So go right ahead and wallow in self pity.
