How can I rebuild my life when recovering from depression?

When you're depressed life may seem bleak. You may feel indifferent to many things that once held a great deal of interest for you. You may lose interest in old friends.

Some of your cherished goals may no longer seem worthwhile. You may lose your enthusiasm for your work and find yourself just dragging through your day. Once you have traversed through your emptiness, you have created a space for something new to enter.

Now your symptoms of indifference -- not caring what others think, not caring about your goals, not caring about your social connections -- will help you choose what will fill your newly created empty space. How does this work? Imagine that you have finally thrown out your junky old hand-me-down furniture.

You now have a room that is empty and ready to be refurnished and redecorated. What will you fill the room with? In order to fill the room with furniture that you love and that represents your own unique tastes and preferences, you will have to permit yourself the fullest expression of your deepest inclinations -- you will find your true personal atmosphere.

Depression, which makes you indifferent to the old rules that used to guide your life, is what makes this possible. You will likely have to expand your sense of what is allowable to find and express your own tastes. You may find this challenging, especially if you have borrowed someone else's sense of style because your own tastes clash with rigid beliefs or cultural expectations.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
