[QUOTE="SilliamWhale, post: 5710474, member: 1232"] Thats a new one on me. Never thought of that. Quite like it. I actually quite like winter days but find the evenings a bit long I've never had a days depression in my life but I have felt a bit rudderless at times in the past couple of years as I've got older. What I have found has really helped me have been going for a run (just a 2-3 mile run is enough) and I come back more productive and with a bit more purpose for those few hours after, another thing is having lists on the phone - various lists - ie jobs to do asap, jobs for the next year, places to go/ things to do and things I want to "achieve" - could be anything, doesn't mean doing an Ironman and it helps give a sense of achievement and direction - it may even be mending a gutter that has broken for years etc. but it helps to build a sense of purpose. And the other thing is to be open to all sorts and to as many people/ experiences which we can all tend to shut out (me included). A lot of people can see this as oversharing but if you do it in the right context its extremely useful because a lot of problems for people esp with regards to anxieties tend to lack perspective - we are not as individual as we may think. Even depression can be fundamentally a lack of perspective/ inability to see another perspective rather than life being actually negative. Interesting stuff, the mind! [/QUOTE]
