What brings you joy?

Tired of venting/ranting about my depression.

Felt like a better start to understand what is joy for everyone

Focus on what makes your heart beat faster. Is there anything that interests you in the slightest? From the past even? I am glad you realize you must change something to change your life and your mood. May I recommend to you a free online forum? It is called Wondermind. You choose articles based upon how you feel. Your mood. You get useful tips. For anxiety, depression, anger, etc. Please try Wondermind. You will find it useful. Good luck.

What brings me joy? Hiking. Sketching. Painting. Writing. Horseback riding. Spending time with my friends in my area. Cooking. Baking. Singing. Dancing. Helping others. Giving advice. Writing letters to those I love. I try new experiences as much as I can. This means that I continue to learn and to grow in my life.

@PoetryNEmotion I'm just trying to fix my life. Study. Exercise. Try to lose weight. Cut off the toxic people in life. I'm trying to find reasons to get past. It's just hard given how my life is. But it is what it is. I'm just trying and that's all I can do.

But thank you too.

That sounds very positive tbh. How you elaborated about helping others and learning in the process. I like it. I'd definitely would love to try baking some day.
@Beatbox34 Sounds like you are making progress. I applaud you. Far easier to complain than to do different. Each of us struggle. Do you realize that? Some make that the story of their life. That is sad. That is a choice. Helping othrrs makes one focus on domrone else. Then one can see one's problems are not the world. Just a smsll part of it. Try Wondermind. A solid forum. It works. Try baking now. Google a recipe. Try it. You may be surprised how fun it is. Learning is a positive action. You got this.
