hi Harry, yes i agree! Learning a new skill is a good way to manage depression and purposelessness. I am trying and have to take small steps. i mean break down this BIG goal into smaller steps. at the moment this step is kind of overwhelming for me. i am NOT computer savvy so maybe i will try learning something new at my sister's shop when i help her out. i will think upon this. thanks for the advice!
