Hi Traction and others...I completely relate to this feeling of it won't get better. I really can't see that it will, as it hasn't in over 8 mos. I'm tired of "picking myself up by the bootstraps" and don't even try anymore. Small goals also don't work for me anymore, or the classic eat well, rest, exercise.

I also feel removed, like you said, an alien. I don't see experience anything as interesting or fun, so I don't do a whole lot because I can't imagine enjoying anything. I don't enjoy anything I used to.

How do we make it out of this cycle?
