What keeps you going?

For me right now, nothing really. Time just passes on its own.

It sounds like you're pretty down.

Have you any interests that are special?

Are the Scottish Highlands really beautiful? I'd like to go there sometime.

I think you're going through the doldrums. And you don't feel there's a way out. But there are many ways out.

There's many things you could do with music--especially in this age of computers. You could even do what Edward Munch, an artist, did when he was depressed and frustrated: create something which conveys his depression and frustration. He did "The Scream." Perhaps you could do something like it?

You live in a big city. I'm sure you could find some sort of club for people who like music. Or who play music.

Yep...winter in Canada can be depressing! Think of it this way: it's two months until spring in Toronto.

In my case: Curiosity... And chasing it without anxiety.


Or just plain boredom. I don't rush to the deadline, I 'wait' AT the 'deadline'.

Usually it's some form of special interest or work. When my interests shift it can create a period of 'non-activity' so to speak. Just a bit of floundering while the mind tries to settle on something.

Right now, studying math and really having to work hard to keep at it. It's part discipline, part special interest. But it's not the shiny object I want to dive into at this time. I really want to do it, but overall, I'm in that transitional period and it's a bit defeating. Just gotta do it. Discipline.....sucks sometimes LOL

Are you experiencing something like that?

Music & unrestrained thought. Also, caffeine, literature, design, bikes & fast shiny things.

A high-fibre diet and drinking lots of liquid.

A deeply ingrained strong instinct for survival. That I sometimes wish I did not have.

My special interests and my family keep me going, as well as hope for my future.

My research topics keep me motivated to do more with what I have to work with. In science, there are always questions to solve and puzzle pieces to put together to formulate future challenges. Sometimes the thrill of the chase can be better than the end result. You just never know what new direction an answer may lead you to.
