Random Thinky Things
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results.
Another definition of that is "in a rut". It happens to the best of us. Life gets monotonous, boring.
Most of the time it's depression. And that particular condition is insidious by nature I think. It's a thing that makes you overthink every. single. thing.
When I feel it too strongly, my nature is to change my environment as part of a shock therapy. Get a brand new opinion, take a road trip.
Some people let it paralyze them. I think we are all guilty of that at times, even.
When the tidal wave threatens to overwhelm and drown you, maybe, just maybe you should get out of the water.
Life changes are hard to make no matter how small the change it seems. I'm learning that the key to it all is baby steps.
That and always always take the risk. That is an intrinsic part of me that will never cease and a great comfort in the knowing. You always get something out of taking the risk..accepting the challenge. There is value to those life lessons.
Life is for the living. Get out of the rut, take the chance,...yeah, you're going to get hurt sometimes, do it anyway.

I am so much like this in many ways. I don't often get depressed, but when I feel I'm in a rut, I change it up, just like what you're describing. Finding a new direction, activity or distraction is sometimes so refreshing. Good luck...I hope a new opportunity presents itself today!
