I recently had an appointment with my psychologist and one of her tasks for me was to write 10 things down that are worth living for. This is something I suggest for you to do. The next time I saw her I read it out to her and told her It wasn't very difficult for me to come up with the list. We can get so caught up in repeating the same thing everyday and not think about the bigger picture as to what life has to offer. Chickenwings.. you mentioned social media isn't a realistic reflection of life. My psychologist totally agrees with you. Social media creates an illusion that life is all fun and games, whether that be going on holidays, going to parties, graduating, getting married...whatever it may be. I have had my most difficult year dealing with anxiety/depression in
over 10 years. I told my psychologist I find it difficult to get excited about anything anymore. She asked me the last time I remember getting excited..I had to really think about it and it was xmas last year where I
felt adrenaline running through me when opening one of my presents. These situations only occur rarely. Life can be difficult at times. People have to shop, cook, clean, wash, pay bills, repay loans, drive in heavy traffic, look after family members that are sick, deal with stressful situations....and so on.
Trying new experiences such as yoga is one of the things worth living for. I plan to do it shortly.
Hope this has helped
