I definitely can understand that. I was in that dark place a few times, and I wouldn't wish it on anybody. It's an agonizing, lifeless, hopeless place. No energy at all. Just that deep dark hole.

My T suggested that I go on meetup.com and try to find something to get involved in. I had no desire at all to do it. What he told me was that I needed to do it IN SPITE of what I was feeling. So, while every fiber of my being wanted to do nothing of the sort, I had to push myself to pick stuff to try out. I had no idea where to start.

It's not easy to climb out of that hole.
