    Oh! Have a look at this http://www.open.ac.uk/about/open-edu...rces/openlearn

    The Open University does loads of free courses, you might find something to interest you among them. Also, before you start a degree, many universities offer access to higher education courses.

    @Jarre, Thanks. I did google it and had a look myself. But when I do that doubt sets in. And I get confussed. Am I looking at the right thing? When I did the course for work I bought 5 books on how to learn and use a memory palace. That time should have been spend on doing some actual work haha.

    With hobbies I have the same problem. Am I doing it the right way. I am not getting any better. Instead of enjoying the yourney I dread it and its never good enough. Doubt is my enemy number one.

    @Jaquaia, thats great, I am going to dive into it after dinner. I am a little beat after some stress at work. But with some food in me I am eager to look. Thanks.

    They went on and on about me not going to dinner with my coworkers in 2 weeks. And then I did not manage to fix certain things.

    I don't want to complain all the time. So I think I am going to bed. I hate this. Me just complaining and feeling horrible. I keep thinking its best to disappear.

    Please don’t disappear, hunni, we miss you when you’re not around
    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.

    Please don't go anywhere. You have been an inspiration to me since I returned here. If you go, where will you talk about what's on your mind?

    Why are you not going to eat with your colleagues? Do you have people you are OK to sit with when you are there?

    Please don't disappear.
    Can you try to find 1 positive thing each day? It doesn't have to be something huge, but something little like the smell of a cup of tea or flowers coming into bloom or someone smiling at you? That way you start to search for the positives. It's hard, even harder when you are really struggling, but it is important...
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Having hobbies you don't have to be ace at them as its doing the hobby that is the main thing, My friend in Aus fishes, he doesn't catch many if any sometimes but it gives him quiet time and do something he enjoys. The essay thing is just a little guidance of how to set them up but so just a little guidance rather than anything else to help. The problem is you keep setting the bar high on everything you do, you are very hard on yourself when you do something, there is no such thing as failure, just learning and experience so it doesn't matter if you not the top at something, its the journey and time doing the activity and it gets boring to do it perfect and the same each time, try looking at things differently and keep that negative side locked in a box, basically give yourself a break there is no such thing as perfect so you don't have to try and aim for something that doesn't exist. Just something to think about and challenge your comfort zone on.

    With hobbies you don't have to be an expert, you just need something that keeps you occupied and you enjoy doing.
