I too have had depression and anxiety for over 2 years. I no longer have any interests or have anything to look forward to. I ask my friends and family what gives them joy and they have a nice long list. I have nothing. I see people smile and laugh and I want that so badly. I am on medication and I have therapy once a week. I want my joy back and I miss the old me.
I hope things get better for you. Just know you are not alone.

This so sounds like me. I am 61 and have spiraled down in the last 3 years. I have a successful business, wrote and published a book and am a pillar in the community. That was me before 61. I wish I could get back there. I don't know what happened and have gone all different routes to find a solution. I think the best thing is to talk with people who are going through the same feelings and sometimes it is hard because I get my spells late at night. Medication can help but keep up the therapy and get involved in some support groups.
