Depression is a horrible thing. It makes you no longer enjoy the things that you used to.
Things I used to love to do: Fishing, camping, drawing, making chainmaille, hiking, geocaching, spending time with friends, and just going for drives to nowhere.
Art and Sheba belong to me.

Usually, the kind of depression that makes you not enjoy the things you used to, is caused by normal brain chemistry. It develops from a bad work to reward ratio. If you do something a lot and it doesn't feel rewarding enough, the brain starts sending signals from the beginning of the activity that make it feel like a failure sensation from the start of the activity. Consider the idea that something needs to change to make the activity more rewarding. It might be something simple like admiring the results of your work more. It could also be the people around you not valuing the activity, or more importantly YOU, enough. Everyone is different though, so just try to find the key element that's corrupting your drive.
Well, for most of the things. I would probably still enjoy them if I even was able to do them. But because of various things I don't get to anymore. Other things like art though I do agree with what you said. I don't think my art is good, and I feel like no one else likes it either. Hell, I can barely even GIVE it away let alone get commissions.
Basically I feel like one big giant failure of a person and hate myself and my life. Hardly anything makes me happy anymore and all I want to do is just sleep.
