We all who have depression know you loose interest in the things you once loved doing and lack motivation to continue doing these things which you love. So...
If I didn't have depression I would be active, peruse riding horses everyday and compete. I would be a runner, swimmer and a gym rat. What would you do or be?

I would have a thriving flower, herb garden, and open a store to sell my handcrafted soaps and lotions.
I would also be the most awesome family history gatherer. lol

Write a book.
I have the plans for it, characters... plot... but I'm nervous to start in case I relapse hard.

I would have liked to find a husband and have children.
With depression I'm just not able to provide the right level of stability.

I would be back to my normal 6 day a week workout schedule pushing myself and sculpting my body and mind. I would be a force at work, going after my goals with the ambition I used to have.
Now I know I can do these things still it's just a matter of when. Once I recoup I'll be back in action! |

Working a day job and creating art in my shop, I would be able to afford all my desires, going to the theater, art museums around the country, traveling to other counties. I miss all that. I would still have game night in my home for friends too.

I would have the motivation to workout everyday so I can have a better body mind and soul. This would lead to me being more self confident and I would meet up with the local star trek meetup group in my city to do things with.
Hopefully by having this great body, I might be able to find a nice husband, because again, I would be more confident. All I have to do is start. Why is starting so difficult?

I would have friends and a social life, and most importantly get a good nights sleep.

I would like to meet my old friends, respond to their calls, etc. Now, I am being just nasty. The only people I am making an effort to interact with are my nieces and nephew. This is a little achievement, I am being so slow.
I would be working or volunteering to offer all what I learned during the last ten years in the US. It could be helpful for some NGOs here, mostly about contacts I made. But I am losing these contacts, as well, as I am in my nutshell of depression

Get out of bed when I wake up in the morning (instead of lying around for hours) and go to bed when I'm ready to sleep (instead of 5 p.m. or so, when I don't sleep until 9:00)

I would have the confidence and energy to get out and find a better less boring job.
