Should you wait to feel "better" before you start living?

[Lliam]

If so, you might be waiting forever.

Go live your life.
Do it sad.
Do it anxious.
Do it uncertain.

Because healing doesn't always have to come before experience.

Sometimes the experience is what heals you.

[Crimsyjo]

I think you can take time out to heal sometimes but not yo wait forever to feel better or happy. Which basically happens when people get depressed. If you feel sad or unhappy it's good to be proactive in planning things to do. Plan days out, events to go to, increase social circle, meditate, go for walks. All things that aid feeling better. So yeah people feeling down need to push themselves to get out there anyways.

I am so happy that i did. Because now im happier than ever.

Never truer. I'm 53 now and I have no intention of starting to wind down towards retirement. I'm looking for a smallholding to homestead. Never done it in my life. Been a dream for years. By January it'll be a reality.

I would suggest starting something completely new. Class of some sort. It eases the first steps and acts as healthy distraction on a different path. Sticking to routine can be unhealthy. Life has obviously dramatically changed for a person already anyway,

they told me to take meds. I refused! I make my own decisions 😜
