Depression and the sense of time in research

[Jade]

I believe the solution to this is to find something you can devote your love to which will offer you feelings of understanding and acceptance in return.

It may sound trite but for anyone who feels this way and doesn't have a pet, you should consider going to your local shelter and adopting one, maybe even an older one or a special needs one.

I'm a huge advocate for adopting shelter pets. Shelters are full to the brim this day and age because there are animals waiting to be rescued so they can love and help transform their human families. Pets never forget such a selfless act and if you've never had a relationship with an animal closely, you should sincerely try it. Pets are like baby steps to direct human interaction. Ever notice how someone walking a dog is more approachable?

Just my two cents! Discard or recycle if you don't need it!
