In physics, Frame of Reference, screws everything up - your driving in a car looking out the window, either your moving, and the houses are staying still, or you are staying still and the houses are moving. While the second one, screws with natural ways of thinking - it is just as valid as a frame of reference as the first.With this thinking, i believe i've "unlocked" a reasoning behind my depression. While at school, or working - everything is "one week at a time" when i manage what i have to do and prioritize my time with my classes, it's "one week at a time" or, with work it was one week at a time, get to the weekend etc. But now, with no work, no school... it's "one day at a time" "one hour at a time" "one second at a time. I've got no larger frame of reference to look at things, and somehow this makes me depressed. Not, that i'm choosing to be depressed, i just suppose, with school or work - somehow i just look further ahead in time and ignore my feelings at the moment.
That being said, am i in the car moving, or is the world moving and i am staying still? How, do I apply the frame of reference that keeps me happy, to this situation i am in now, which i am not happy?
To be honest, I don't know
I'd say the world is moving but your staying still. But it's not like you need school and a job to keep yourself busy and entertained, you just need to find things that do that themselves, and prioritize your life around them, and so then your life wouldn't be so stagnant anymore, or at least that's what i'd guess. I mean, your depression seems to stem from over thinking about stuff, thinking about rethinking things, so maybe just find things that keep you from doing that.
