When you are in depression, almost magically, nothing motivates you.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once you get depressed, you don't really feel like doing anything. You're kind of discouraged about yourself, and then the weight gain, too, or that makes me more depressed.
When I'm not working on something, I seem to go through periods of depression. It helps to keep busy.
Getting better from depression demands a lifelong commitment. I've made that commitment for my life's sake and for the sake of those who love me.
It's so easy for me to fall back into depression. I think it comes with having money. I don't have to work. I could be sitting bored and depressed at home with a bag on my head.
Depression opens the door to beauty of some kind.
If you suffer from depression, anything that makes you feel has to the most important thing in your life, because it's the only thing that can save you.
Instead of seeing depression as a dysfunction, it is a functioning phenomenon. It stops you cold, sets you down, makes you damn miserable.
The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it's so easy to be motivated.
Nothing can motivate me any more than I'm already motivated. It just can't happen. Me being motivated was never a factor. Never.
Depression taught me the importance of compassion and hard work, and that you can overcome enormous obstacles.
