Can you try to do something nice for yourself today? Just to break the pattern? Today I had a really difficult T appointment and when I left all I wanted to do was numb out. Instead, I turned the car around, went to the nursery and bought 100 bulbs to plant. I'm no gardener (but I've always planted bulbs) but I'm desparate to find new ways to live that will make the hopelessness seem less intense. (plus, I don't have to plant the bulbs for a month so my procastination in this case will be a good thing!)
I know how you feel and I follow along, blindly at times, when my T tells me it will get better. Just try to hold on ... and be good to yourself. You certainly are not alone.
