Shocking your normal schedule is a good way to get out of a depression loop, agreed. I at one point developed an obsession with finding Parrot shops in my area, and drove far and wide to catalogue every one and learn more about the birds. After owning 2 Cockatoos I developed a new life-long passion for rescuing the talking birds as pets. I also make music, and have begun working on dating, and reaching out to old friends for life updates. All of it has really grounded me in the past 5 years, and I'm pretty sure it's what's gotten me through the pandemic years without depression.
