I was not a person that doesn't even have energy to brush my teeth, cook dinner, clean my house. But no matter how I try, I cannot do it. I loved getting out and walking, driving to destinations i read or was told about. I have always love springtime and yard work and crafts. I simply have no desire. I rarely get dressed most days. There is not one thing that I am excited or hopeful about. I have always loved the ocean. Just being there watching waves. I thought maybe a trip there would help, of course I am broke and can't afford it now, but the thing is even if money werent an issue, I just don't want to go. I have always been a hopeful, "lets do this" kind of person, now I'm just not. I don't know how to be who I am now but I don't know how to get back to who I was.
Yes, I see a therapist. I have no desire to but I do go.
Talking to a therapist/ counselor should help eventually. However it all depends on your relationship with your therapist - whether you feel like they are your trusted friend or rather a doctor giving you treatment instructions. If you more feel like they are your doctor and not a friend, it's not going to ease your problems. You should find someone easy to talk to, someone you can confide in so much as to tell them about every and any problem you get. The reason for your loss of interest to doing things is probably somewhere in your past or present life; together with your counselor you just need to find this reason and work on fixing it. But you have to choose the right counselor for that
Thanks for this!
