Take care of yourself. This sounds like depression - seek help. Respect yourself and tell those thoughts saying that other people "have it worse" that whether or not that's true, you deserve to be happy. What you're going through is normal and OK. Reward yourself with little things and accept that something has gone wrong. If you had a cold that lasted a year, you would see a doctor. That's what this is. Lack of motivation and loss of interest in things you used to love is a physical ailment. It may not seem like it, because no one else can see it, but it is. Accept the fact that noticing these bad feelings is not self-pity. It is genuine concern that something is wrong and you are rightly worried. It's OK. That's the first step I took in fighting my depression. It's damned difficult to do. But you reached out, and that probably was pretty difficult too. I believe you're up for it. Take care of yourself. Respect the fact that you deserve to be happy. Reach out to professionals, and friends and family if you can. We're a community that takes mental health seriously, because there is nothing more important for the type of work we do than having a clear and focused head. Take care. <3
