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.

I'm not sure I can be of much help. But I would think that being joyless is a stressor. Wonder if you can examine that joylessness? Maybe you just don't think it is safe to feel joy about things that you really care about.
