Hi Red Daisy. It sounds like depression? Have you been diagnosed, if you don't mind me asking.

It crept up on me slowly, too.

I'm UK, and share your frustration regarding therapists.

When I joined PC, I was in despair. Just felt so bad all the time. Exhausted.

Sertraline helped me a lot. There are side effects, but to me, it was worth it.

Hanging out here was also very healing.

Wish you the very best.
