Nailed it, Odee! Lacking any motivation lately... the response is emptiness for sure. I ask for the willingness to heal, to let the meds work, to feel better... yet this episode has dragged on for 2 months now. Get a tiny bit of satisfaction realizing how much I have been forced to learn patience. It isn't about "wallowing" or self-pity... there is just a disconnect from anything that feels right and good.
