I've been thinking about this some more, and the thing is I've tried taking action in the past, but when you're happy (or semi-content at most in my case) then the things you do tend to work out most of the time. But, when I'm depressed, the action I take seems to fail every time, and I still don't achieve what I want. Everything I attempt ends up as one big screw up every time. Even the stuff that worked out when I was not depressed don't work when I'm depressed. It's almost like when you do something with a heavy heart you're putting bad energy into it and it's doomed to fail.
