Back in may , when I fell into a stage of mild depression due to my emet , my therapist and I made a list of different activities to get me out of the dark hole because I wa having a hard time doing anything at all. I just wanted to stay in bed and wallow in my misery. Being hopeless.

My list was compiled of very random things but all things I loved even though at that time I had no drive to do any of them. I will say that it actually helped greatly and I didn't even enjoy doing them initially but the more I forced myself the more enjoyment I got. It was hard and may take a while for him to respond but it works.

So basically, mine was paint nails, watch a movie with friends, go shopping, refurbish an antique peice of furniture, take a walk down a nice area I like, do art (love to paint), bake, try to cook a new dish (love to cook), go thrift shopping with friends etc. you get the idea?

Now let me say, I didn't want to do anything and I didn't enjoy the activities when I first started but the more I did it I noticed I was happier an happier. It kind of works to pull you back to life and get out of that negative mindstate which can be hard at times.
