What did this hobby save you from?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I'm a lurker with a 29 gallon as my "big tank," but thought I'd chime in on this. I have pretty severe depression and have issues motivating myself to do even basic stuff like get out of bed or eat. My fish are definitely keeping me sane-ish. Knowing something living is depending on me motivates me even in my deepest funks, and cleaning the tank and doing water changes is my zen. On my worst days, I can easily bring myself to do something (even something as simple as scrubbing the glass), and that gets me moving so that I can try to tackle other life stuff. Even if nothing else gets done during the week, I get my water changes in and watch the fish eat twice a day.
 
hard core MMOs(6 hours a day or more 5 days a week..), crappy relationship ( likely one of the reasons my fire eels are still so dear to me, those 3 lil' buggers helped me get past it all.), sitting on my butt... I've kept fish since I was a kid.. but it's always my go too when life throws lemons at me and I can't make lemonade by myself. seems when something bad happens it boosts me back up into the hobby.
 
You mean the smell of your fish don't remind you of her?
