I already posted about my 2nd session on the psychotherapy forum but I post more often on here.

So I had my 2nd session today, she asked me the same questions again. Is she gonna keep asking the same questions every session? She taught me some breathing techniques and the rubber band technique to stop thoughts. I've been trying the rubber band technique all afternoon and I've been trying so hard to act normal and live in the moment but everything feels so weird, numb and unreal. I mean, I don't expect life to go back to normal from one day to another even though I wish it did. I can't believe this is what my life has come to. I miss my life so much but I don't know if I'll ever live the same way again.

I miss my life too, there is a chance that you'll move on from this and be just fine and happy and "normal" again. However, depression has changed me forever (I think a lot of other people would say that too), so whatever I move onto won't be the same as before. I think I have over-idealised my "normal" life, so from where I am in the pits of depression it seems unattainable.

I remember when I was in my 20s and the depressions started to lift there were some very exciting times as I started to live again and I felt that I had to cram in more to compensate for the down time. I hope that you will have some better times soon.
