>>12845449I agree with this. Balance of life is what gave me sanity and happiness. The last time I was mentally well was 2014-13. I recall vividly the balance between, gaming, reading, voip with friends, meeting friends, going places/drinking with friends, enjoying the outdoors, bit of gardening, doing driving lessons, family time, gf time, chilling etc. I would give my all for each of those, giving them all quality time and moving on when things were getting stale or pointless.
In the last 7 years I've demonised technology. Your comment reminds me (yet again) that I never necessarily sat on the PC all day every day, maybe for WoW at times but there was many a time of desire to rather sit in the garden when it is sunny or going out with friends.
The biggest thing for me, is trying to find another hobby to fill the time between everything. I try to be creative with everything around me, but it ends up pointless. For example, a pretty object you made, is just that, a pretty object. I crave depth.
