The activities that I use to enjoy and need like going to the gym I can barely make it to. I sit in my car and just cry once I pull into the parking lot.
I keep telling myself it will get better but I feel like I am just a body with nothing in it.

You will get better. But the sad think about getting better is that it looks like a chart made with a zig zag and it’s got some really low valleys.
That feeling you have, that you described as a body with nothing in it, I feel similarly if not the same. It’s such an empty, degrading feeling that makes me say screw it to even trying.
Every time I feel happier, I realize that feeling of being a body with nothing in it is merely a feeling with lack of rational thought.
You, my dear, are so much more than just a body. It doesn’t matter what you’ve been through or what you are. You’re a person with feelings and a future.
You have value even when you don’t feel like you do.
It’s wonderful that you keep telling yourself it will get better, because that means you are fighting.
You’re a body with a smile. You’re a body with arms and legs. A body with a brain. And a body that will recover.
I have done that so often made plans to do something parked up cries so much I can’t possibly go in and driven home thank god for sun glasses
Not sure if you have a “next” appointment set up with your therapist. But sometimes that would help me knowing here in a couple weeks I can go talk about everything and see what might be going on.. I know that might sound kind of silly but it would help sometimes, and hopefully with everyone’s support you can also start to feel a little better knowing you’re not the only one with these feelings and they do get better. Enelie had a very good analogy with the zig zag thing I couldn’t put it better
I do have an appointment this Friday so it will be good to talk about everything. I enjoy knowing that there are others who understand what it feels like and can relate. Thank you 🙏
Have you tried just taking a walk ? I walk 30 minutes 3 times per week. I get tanned as I get in shape. It's nice to also be outdoors focusing on God's beauty..green trees and grass, flowers, blue sky and clouds. I also enjoy listening to the birds. I pray as I do this, thanking God for all he made.
You are right, "The Sun Will Come Out!" There is always hope! I know that feeling you are talking about. It can feel quite depressing. However, I kind of get the impression that you are a person who perseveres. That is good! Do you have any goals or hopes, plans and or dreams that you would like to achieve? Take one small step at a time. It is kind of like dancing, Two steps forward, one step back. I am a praying person, I believe that prayer and reading the Word of God is vital in giving us the strength to help us endure our hard and weak times.
Are you taking any medication? I am exactly the same way. Trauma brought me to this point. I am hoping that meds will help...
I just started taking medication. This week marks two weeks that I’ve been taking it. I can’t really tell if I am feeling anything different yet but I heard it takes some time to really feel the effects.
