Empty and tired

I am a shell of what I used to be. How does one keep going? I have people to live for but I can’t seem to climb out of this black hole that has become my life.

Hello and welcome. Are you getting any therapy, or taking any medications to help take the edge off things?

Yeah 2 antidepressants. I’m 59 and disabled for 7 years because my body is failing me. I would welcome suggestions of how to get out of this hole. For some reason I seem to have lost all motivation to do the things I know would help.

Two antidepressants already, perhaps some talk therapy, then, if you can manage it?

As far as motivation to do things that help, I think sometimes it comes down to making ourselves do things no matter how we feel at the time, to jump start us into it.
