You are allowing your state of mind to dictate to your everyday happenings..Your curiosity is ALWAYS with you..You never lose it.. However, you can suppress it.. And THAT is exactly what you are doing..Your depression is key in you breaking out of the state you are in..You know why your depressed,,and its easy to just ignore life,,and dwell on what depresses you..When we are not willing to break free from the state of mind which binds us,, we will remain trapped in it.. When you decide that you want to get interested in Whatever,,then and only then will it take place..YOU are the operative on YOUR road of life.. Decide to embrace SOMETHING !! Be it small or large,,but something !! Then do it.. Interest is not acquired,,but it is not developed either.. Pick out something that you fancy doing, learning trying , or even making.. If it works out or not,,move on and try some more.. Continue trying until you find things and you will,.that satisfies you,,and gives you pleasure or a feeling of accomplishment ! You are the key to your curiosity.. Now aren't you curious about what it is your going to find that will give you pleasure..Sure you are !! Now ,have at it.. Good Luck !! SOLOMON

I try to find things I am really terrible at or know nothing of to learn, and then I am like a child again and become curious. Also it helps to always be reading.

Dear Emma,

I am wrestling with the same issue. I have been trying to get started, on a second career, and just can't get motivated. I asked a psychologist about it, and he said it was a function of my depression.

I understood his response to mean, once I dealt with my depression, the rest would flow. I guess, that's not very helpful?

All your curiosity is satisfied? No big thing. Share your knowledge with others.

On this site, find an area in which you are knowledgeable. Start answering questions. I'll bet you run into one that sparks your curiosity.

if you are depressed that will effect what you feel about everything. try to understand the reasons for your depression. maybe being around young children will help, it helps me.

The standard way to raise curiosity is to ask questions on any subject (as you have here ) ...ask questions, questions ,questions,...... then ask more questions ...

"quote" curiosity kill the cat,and might kill you too. be aware don't do nothing that you will regret. Good Luck!
