When I'm depressed it matters that I can't find a meaning, when I'm not depressed meaning is unimportant. The only thing that works for me is to look for the little tiny differences that one makes, like giving a rough sleeper the sandwich that you couldn't face at lunch, or the caterpillars that I picked off my plants made a meal for a family of blue tits. The nicest person I ever met was constantly delighted by tiny little acts like this and not only was she the nicest person I've met, she was the happiest person too. Unfortunately, it is never as easy to do the things that might help as it is to write them down, otherwise I'd be happy now and saving blue tits instead of posting on PC.

Well you brought a smile to my face, so thank you for that. The imagery was something I could follow and relate to.
I don't necessarily find pleasure in doing the little things, but I do try when I'm not so wrapped up in my own head to notice.
I'm sorry for some of the things I've written today. I hope that nothing has been lashing out at others... can't see that being the case, but yeah... a lot of self hate and petulant crying I guess.
Just worn out and tired right now... no energy to be worrying about self harm or worse.. just sitting and staring for the most part.
Will try to get some sleep if I can.
Sorry again, will probably curse myself out tomorrow for the crap that I've written.
