Rock Candy Reviews

Today was hard because my mind and body were refusing to get on the same page. My body was still recovering, while my mind was craving action and activities. On a better note, at least this conflict got me thinking about something very important.

If you have been reading my blog for the past few years, you’ll know that my hobbies are something I write about a lot. I love analysis, and breaking down themes, characters and more. My writing also centers around games and music. These have always been big parts of my life, but lately, things haven’t been so simple.

You know something is very wrong when your favorite things start having no influence on you. When your passions suddenly become lackluster and unfulfilling. My depression got so bad, that all I really wanted to do was sleep. Forcing myself to do the things I usually loved felt like an awful hassle.

So what does one do with this feeling? Or lack of feeling?

Now that I’ve realized how depressed I’ve been, baby steps have been my new best friends. Doing something that used to bring me joy for short bursts is my only progress so far. Doing my hobbies, little by little, will hopefully help to get me back on my feet. Instead of immediately going in full force, I am trying to acknowledge that getting back to normal means not pushing myself too far in any direction. Letting my body catch up to my mind is testing my patience, but I think this will be good in the long run.
