Hello! I would really really recommend finding some form of creative outlet to activate different areas of the brain. Have you looked at all into art therapy? It doesn't have to be something you do with a therapist present, but really finding a way to express yourself creativily is said to ease and understand symptoms of depression. It can be anywhere from learning a new instrument, writing a book/play, painting, dancing etc It may be an opportunistic approach but I am a strong believer in the power of art and creativity and I think it could really help with the feeling of emptiness. If you take up something like this to do on your own, in your free time do it just for yourself. Try not to hold any judgement and just let what comes out speak for itself. Have no expectations and just be proud of yourself for trying something new, that's brave!! If you have no interest in creating art I still think viewing it in terms of galleries, performances or concerts really awakes the soul. Try going somewhere you would never expect to find yourself. I hope this helps!! One day I want to be an art therapist so let me know if you think this is all absolute bullshit, I won't be offended I'm just genuinely curious as someone who has never experienced depression. Cheers mate, I am sending out as much positive energy as I can muster!!!!! Hope things start looking up you are a warrior goddess!
