Thank you for your insightful words and sharing your personal experience. Yes diverting the mind is a great strategy but the last thing you want to do. I also suffer depression more than I wish to admit so I can relate. It robs you of much that you can be. creative folks like you and I are more vulnerable to this. Also many of the great masterpieces in music, art and literature were born out of misery. From hopelessness and pain spouts beauty and life. Again thanks.
