Over the last few days I have been trying to figure out one thing I really enjoy or that I am excited about and well its not working... yes I can say I am grateful to have a roof over my head and food in my tummy... but I am trying to find something past that.. I used to enjoy taking walks and strumming on a guitar.. Now I cant think of a single thing that I look forward too or enjoy.. Does anyone have any ideas to bring some passion into my life or can anyone share what brings them a little joy? I know this is part of depression but I think having something to look forward too or that can lighten my mood is something that would help. Thank u for taking the time to read this

when i used to feel like this i would listen to music ,songs that i used to listen to and loved ,i find it sometimes releases good feelings again .and sometimes tears but that can be good too .not always an instant thing ,sometimes it just washes over you .for a long time i was unable to listen to music ,but very slowly joy can and does return .
