Of course it's better to find something new and intense - but it's much easier to go back to something you're familiar with.

Indeed. However, if its the usual schedule that you're sick of, perhaps find a way to include more adventure in your weekly or monthly routine. Or find a way that you don't live on a routine, more spontaneous. Those are the kinds of changes I'm talking about when I say "use the depression as a tool for self-change". A way to make your life better, even if its not Pandora.

So for that gray monotony look into something like this:

Outside Magazine's Guide to Life | OutsideOnline.com

There is a link somewhere on that site that offer "the 50 best places to work". Companies and such that offer more adventure in daily work, or have benefits such as days off for skiing etc.

And for something intense:

Hearts, Lies, and Love.
