@cecelia19, I think you saw the helpful posts where @jan64 posted a related discussion here:
- Depression and PN: Anyone have success with an antidepressant? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/depression-and-pn/

While the topics are related, I expanded the title of your discussion because you ask a slightly different question. Your post reminds me of a couple of helpful older discussions that may be helpful to read:
- Pain and depression, the one two punch.

- Acceptance: Anyone have difficulty accepting new limitations daily?

- PN: From Anger to Acceptance

I share these past discussions to show that you are not alone. I'm proud of you for taking action and seeking a new appointment with a psychologist to find something that helps. Thanks for reaching out to your community here for helpful tips while you wait for your appointment.

I'll get things started, but I'll first clearly declare that I'm not living your situation and my tip may not be helpful. When I find myself using sentences with "can't", I ask myself to reframe the situation with "can". Neuropathy has robbed you of the things you want to do. Rather than focusing on the lost activities, would it help to focus on favorite activities you can do? Choose things that give you a sense of accomplishment or joy or both.

I can:
- pet my cat
- sort the pile of papers that need my attention
- connect with like-minded people on Connect, or help someone who needs to hear "I'm here. I understand."
- read a book in my favorite sitting corner

What would you add?
