I need to engage myself in something, I used to be quite talented in many areas, but during this phase of depression I can't access any of my good qualities. Days are so empty. I wish I could find some kind of activity.
How about cooking? If you're eating and I assume you are...then it's much cheaper to cook at home but you can make it an artistic project in terms of the best flavors or a challenge to save the most money or whatever. You can also garden pretty cheaply if you have access to a yard or community garden plot and supplement your meals with your own food for just the cost of a few transplants or seeds. A simple notebook and pencil are enough to start drawing and there are many tutorials on the web. Writing a book is virtually free. What would you like to do?
