Dear Wander, I totally understand being numb with depression!!! Yep. Well, you've got a good list of things that HAVE or COULD give you joy. I know how HARD this would be, but could you get up the energy to go turn on your stereo?

I also know, that when I am numb with depression, I sorta kinda don't want to come out of it. I don't know why that is? Actually I think what it is, is that I'm scared that if I go UP, I will crash down again, so I'd be better off just staying down, and getting used to it. NOT a good idea, because ANYHOW we always come back up eventually anyway. So we might aw well help ourselves to do that.

Spoken like I'm a "great success" at this, certainly NOT. You've probably heard all this advice before....
