so. Sometimes I get a strong impression to do something. IE tonight I really felt like I need to write a letter of apology to someone, not so much apology as just telling things like it is, ie peace making. So, that's strong on my heart, and I'm thinkin' "yeah, I should really do this". Then when I sit down to write it, I have second thoughts, like it's a bad idea.

The more that happens, that going back and forth feeling, just makes me frozen and stuck, and of course doesn't make me feel better.

I remember in the Bible God says, "God did not give us a spirit of confusion", but of peace and and sound mind or something like that

Sure... depression has caused me to want to make amends even when there was nothing to make amends for
I think it's just part of depression.
You could try writing those letters and just hold on to them. Sometimes thoughts flow from writing that would not come to the surface otherwise.

I have felt this often. I usually just send the letter, but only if I have been feeling this for multiple days, usually months. And then the letter gets proofread and in the end, it is their choice how to respond to it.

Indecisiveness is a part of depression. I don't have major depression, but when I am on the edge of it, I am terribly indecisive.
