How do I deal , get over burn out?
I want to be ok...but I have no passion for the things I use to.
Im a Christian ... I left a abusive church and I struggle with any interest in spiritual things.
Im an artist ..but cant seem to get motivated to start any project...seems pointless.
Hard to see a future of hope.

Key thing here is you want to be ok. I do too, and find it
Difficult to get motivated, but push myself along. Hope your
Feeling better. PG

Religion is all about control, and that church wanted to control you. You are a free spirited artist and that kind of "spirituality" is not for you. You to intellegent for them. Move on and think for yourself.

I'm stuck in the same hole. I used to quilt and all my stuff is right where I left 9 months when the depression took hold. I can't make myself do anything productive except I do force myself to go to work every day. I'm sorry to hear you are in the same place. I understand how you yearn to move on and get back to your art and other enjoyable things. I wish I had an answer for you. Hopefully, things will turn for the better for you soon. Have you been to see a pdoc or therapist? That might help if you haven't. I have a pdoc and take psych meds but don't have the money for a therapist right now. Anyway I wish you the best.

I wish I had an answer for you. I was depressed my whole life but kept holding out hope that one day things would get better. Now I am not depressed anymore but still search for joy. I don't know where to find it. I am content with life, but I don't do anything. I want more, but I don't know what that looks like after a lifetime of unhappiness. so I may not have an answer, but I have a hug for you.
