At what time in your recent past have you felt most passionate and alive?
I feel most passionate and alive when I can help others, offering a hand or a shoulder to cry on and feeling to have helped someone or given them a moment of relief just feels good.
How about you? What did make you feel most passionate and alive recently?

@amiablePeace77 How about you, what makes you feel most alive?
I feel alive hosting a discussion at 7cups on a topic that is heart-felt.
@soulsings
I can so relate soul! Discussions here make me feel very connected to others.
@amiablePeace77
When I tucked the little one into bed for the first time since she was just a baby, getting to put on her little socks and sing her a lullaby.
Other than that, when I made her the last postcard I made and sent off in the mail. And outside of my relationship with her: when I've said things in group chats that people seemed to find helpful. Listening to others and not feeling lost in my own issues.
@ThadSterling
Tucking the little one into bed for the first time is a very special moment, they grew up so fast!
I find the group chats make us aware that many people are suffering and it puts my own challenges in a different perspective. Glad it helps you too.
@amiablePeace77
What did make you feel most passionate and alive recently?
Getting appreciated here on the forum by some of the people I look up to. I did not expect to find that at all.
@scarletPear1945 youi deserve call outs for how you are so supportive of others.
@soulsings
I Thank you very much❤️
@amiablePeace77
I used to feel passionate and alive when I played sport. There was a time when I was in an acting class and performing on stage made me feel like I was on cloud nine. Going through depression now, I hope I can find the passion and pleasure from doing things back :)
@hardworkingBeechwood6063
I hope you get back onto that cloud nine again, maybe starting again with sports or acting is the key!
I felt most passionate and alive when I had my hurricane work featured on BBC and the Weather Channel. Yet Ive had MDD for years and in light of recent life events I have no drive or desire to do anything right now. Even the simple things seem impossible. I want the drive, energy, and motivation I use to have, the way it use to be. Im not sure how but I know isolating myself is not a good thing and so I finally joined this group in the hope of connecting with others and finding a way out of this life of depression.
@Findawayout
That sounds very interesting but to be honest a little scary too but I can see that being so close to the forces of nature one can feel so alive!
Depression can lead to isolation and make it had to get going. I am glad you joined this site and hope it will help you to feel more connected and feel better. This is a link to a depression self-help workbook, I hope you will find something that will be helpful to you https://www.7cups.com/forum/DepressionSupport_52/DepressionResources_214/DepressionSelfHelpModulesWorkbookBackfromtheBluezbytheCentreforClinicalInterventions_190085/
@amiablePeace77
Thanks amiable, I will read this.
@Findawayout
I hope it helps 💙
Recently, I have felt alive and fulfilled by designing clothes and applying visible mending. I think these things are really cool.
@biggiecute
Nice that doing something creative makes you feel alive!
