Ok, I've been in therapy for almost three years now and objectively have made a lot of progress. I struggled with depression so bad I could almost not function for along time and the depression seems to be better. There are no significant stressors in my life, in some ways I've got it made but I feel no joy! My life feels empty and I am joyless. Even though I don't feel depressed the flip side is I really don't feel much of anything. It seems like I have lost my capacity to feel much pleasure in life. I use to love my therapy sessions but it seems like in the last few months even the pleasure of that is gone. I go but seems like I have nothing to say and I struggle with being in this joyless spot in my life. I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't know if it really is depression and I am just deluding myself into thinking that I am better. I'm confused. Do any of you feel like this about your therapy? Sometimes I think about just stopping it all and not go anymore. I don't want to focus on me anymore. Its like I'm tired of myself and being who I am because who I am does not bring me any joy anymore. I use to like myself, use to feel excited about life, felt engaged but now I just feel empty.
