Hi Peter,

There is a good book by Andrew Solomon called The Noonday Demon (an atlas of depression). One statement he made that always stuck with me is that "the opposite of depression is not happiness but rather vitality." It sounds like you have some good plans - as to cooking and exploring your interest in nutrition (always a helpful field). But it sounds like you are struggling with some depression, which makes motivation difficult... Have you considered going back to seeing a counselor? The best ways to address depression are through therapy and medication.
Sending supportive thoughts your way.
