Mental toll is just as tough as physical. If you’re able to get up and walk outside try to celebrate being in the sunshine for a few minutes. If you can read a book be glad because some of us have lost that ability or have been severely compromised in that way. If you are able to cook dinner cook yourself something that you really like and enjoy. Try for the small wins. And yes venting is healthy too . I don’t know about others but I get where you coming from. It took me a year to be able to go to work for two hours and I had to be driven. Two years later from that I’m now able to be at work for six hours. But this is three years of fighting the physical and emotional . Cut yourself some slack, and be patient with you. and if anyone tells you it’s all in your head like my father and or estranged husband has done at times, ignore them. Don’t argue. it’s not gonna get you anywhere except more frustrated and more upset. If you have a hobby like sewing or painting or drawing or whatever it is, and you can do any part of that hobby try to find joy in the ability of doing those things. I’m glad you’re able to see a therapist I wish I could my insurance doesn’t cover it and I don’t have the money. Best of luck and well wishes to you
