I can relate to having moments where I feel no 'joie de vie'. Even, when society would dictate I have no reason to complain.
Depression can be like that for many. How long have you been in counseling?
Sometimes, it is a matter of resolving whatever inner conflict you have in talk therapy. Sometimes, it's a matter of biology. However, to determine if it's biology, one needs to try to spend a fair length of time in therapy.
Guilt does, indeed, come from a place of shame. Are there little regrets in life that have led to this? Do you feel emotions, as you've felt them, or are they bottled up? These things, take time to resolve in therapy!
Hang in there

Right now, I don't care about anything. My life doesn't matter. I don't know what to do. I see my psychologist on Thursday. Hopefully she can help me. I'm not doing a very good job of helping myself. I can't even express how I feel, but I know you will understand. |
