Got in touch with hobby again!

Gaming has always been a big hobby of mine. It's been lifelong and has been one of the ways I've made myself happy as well as one of the main ways I've bonded with, met, and enjoyed times with friends. Recently my depression has been at a very high level and it's left me with little energy for anything outside of the daily grin of wake up, work, sleep, repeat.

I sat down and started a new game of Dragon Age Inquisition (with some help from my lovely wife!) and have been playing for the past several hours :) It feels great to get back to something I really love.

I am so glad you can enjoy this again! Depression can really suck the life out of everything and after that every moment of light, however brief, should be appreciated and celebrated. I am also so grateful for your wife who helped you get going again with something you love. Well done!

I'm so glad that you're conquering your depression with small steps, one day you'll look back and be like "Look how far I've come." It's great to know other's out there are struggling with this too; and we're all there for each other.

@IvyRulez

Absolutely! Especially where a lot fo the time it feels like we're so alone in fighting this demon and we see the things on TV about killers and politicians that stigmatize mental illness and how it makes us afraid to speak up about our own struggles.
