Lost of Interest from "Who You Are" due to Depression

...See more I am wondering who else has felt this way and what they did in response: Since I was little, creative activities and crafts were "my thing." I was known as the "crafty one"; people praised me for how creative I was. In my teen years and up to graduation, crafts were my calling. I really loved creating. But then.. while I was in and out of depression, I slowly stopped crafting, until I stopped all together. I finally found the motivation to create again, and it's enjoyable.. But not nearly to the level it was before. The same exact thing happened with video games; however, when I came back to it, I loved it as much, if not so much more, than I loved crafts in my childhood. It's the feeling I wish I felt with crafts again.. But don't. I have slowly donated my craft stuff, but I still have a box left of my jewelry sets. I live in a very small apt, and the box is taking up space. I want to donate it, but I feel guilty if I do. Without crafts, the one thing I was assosiated with all of my life, what do I have to show? Who am I if I am not the "crafty one"? Have you felt that way? You had a hobby or talent that you were know for, but you no longer enjoy, and now you feel guilty for wanting to move on from it. What did you do? How did you feel? Was it hard for you to come to terms with the lost of interest? Any advice for those still struggling and unsure what to do? Thank you for reading this ❤

...See more I find myself having a random panic attack at work, which leads me to start crying in front or everyone or skipping work all together. After that event, I find it harder to go back to work. My anxiety triples at that point. Finally, I never go back. This has happened during the summer with almost 4+ jobs. I lost count. I work on my anxiety with meditation, writing, brain activity, etc. But when I need it the most, it doesn't work. My biggest question is why, when I know everything will be ok, do I still cry? I feel like my mind is saying, "See, if you don't do as I say (stay home or avoid work), I'll make it worse for you (cry in front of everyone and have them question what's wrong or if I can even handle work..)" I want it to stop.. Thank you for reading this.
