hey CK23,
i know that feeling too. accomplishing things but feeling no sense of reward is also a sign of depression. i've been there. sometimes, you can't let your feelings run your life. sometimes you have to tell yourself - there's that problem feeling again. i get all this done and i feel no different than before. sometimes feelings return because you've experienced them before and there is some comfort in them. step outside your feeling comfort zone and celebrate what you've accomplished. when you're planning some activity for which a reward is due, don't forget to plan how you're going to celebrate the accomplishment. get ahead of those pesky old feelings and when they arise, recognize them and tell them you're not going there because they are inappropriate. granted, sometimes you might feel too tired to challenge them. in which case, realize that you're tired and will fight another day. then, get some needed rest! that's the message your mind and body are really giving you. getting needed rest is a great reward for a mission accomplished. all the best to you.
