Multiple therapists/ people have told me to do this. I have no interest in doing anything but I am going through the motions. I read everyday,but I can't get lost in the story like I used to. Instead I have to force myself to finish a chapter. I loved to cook and bake but my creativity to create new recipes is gone.

So... does this going through the motions ever work? If you did it how long did it take for the enjoyment to return? And if it doesn't why do the docs keep telling me this is a good idea.
