    I want to do things but I cant

    Before I got this depression I used to be so active
    Now I do nothing

    I used to love going to Heathrow and photographing the aircraft
    But I never go now because all I want to do is stay at home

    On Monday I said to myself that I will go to the airport
    On Saturday
    But today come around and I just could not do it
    So gutted and angry with myself


    How can I push myself to do things

    I hate missing out on things I used to love doing

    You can't be too far away from me if you used to go regularly to Heathrow!

    Maybe you're trying to push to do something that's a huge thing - so instead of Heathrow, go and take some pictures in your garden or in a local park or woodland?
    It's certainly not something to be angry with yourself over, that is a huge thing! Heathrow is huge, busy, stressful etc Too much when you're still poorly...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I’m with Suzi. Start small. A runner doesn’t sign up for a marathon and, in the first day of training, run 26 Miles. They build up, slowly, and increase their strength and endurance step by step, run by run. Eventually, they’re able to run that marathon
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Listen to these ladies, they know what they are talking about. Instead of feeling horrible for not being able to go, can you set up a lovely scene at home and take great pictures of it? My dad gave me camera and asked me to take a photograph about silence. I looked at my home, my garden and everything.. Then I saw it. Silence. An empty bench under a cherry tree. What could be more silent than that? Taking that photo opened my eyes. I used to photograph horses. I still do occasionally. But sometimes you need to photograph what you feel, what you need, and what you dream of. It was empowering. I hope you find your thing and feel better.
    I am fluent in finnish, swedish, english, sarcasm and profanity.

    You can do more things interesting by just staying at home. Do not push your self to the things that can feel you horrible.
