Find yourself some purely sensory experiences that you can have. Go for walks. See, hear, feel taste and smell things consciously. Your senses are your friends. They are trying to heal you.
Keep in touch and let us know how it's going.

I like what you say about finding experiences to be a part of. Somehow I left that part out, we have been spending our weekends out with the dogs on adventures. It's been incredibly therapeutic. I take my dog for walks daily, or at least I try. On the days that I can't manage to because of time or lack of energy or depression, I at least take him for a drive.
I agree with most of the advice given on this thread. Most of what has been said are things that I would say to someone else, and it makes sense to me.
Thank you so much for your concern and compassion. It is great to know that there is Support out there for me. Thank you
