Are you happy, well-rounded? (dealing w/ depression/lack of motivation) | confoocious: I can totally relate to what you're saying.My story: I found some professional success (atleast monetarily so) early and in parallel through college-life.

Are you happy, well-rounded? (dealing w/ depression/lack of motivation) | awongh: This is a bit of a tangent to your question, but I've been thinking about this a bit too. I've been depressed lately as well, and this ted talk [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgRlrBl-7Yg ] was really interesting. It has nothing to do with being more happy, but has to do with how we define happiness and how we... |
Are you happy, well-rounded? (dealing w/ depression/lack of motivation) | chriseidhof: A book that really helped me is Flow by Csikszentmihalyi.

Are you happy, well-rounded? (dealing w/ depression/lack of motivation) | pw0ncakes: Entering adulthood is difficult because even though the challenges are (usually) much milder, the stakes are much higher.

Do you use a Dvorak keyboard configuration? If so, how did you learn? | richardw: I still use a normal QWERTY keyboard, so I put a printout of the specific layout I was using above my monitor.
