I have been suffering from dysthymia and major depressive disorder for some time now and went into therapy for it nearly 4 months ago. I'm on a long journey toward recovery and discovering happiness in my life again. I don't know when I've ever felt so lost or devoid of passion, interest and energy. Once upon a time I loved to travel, read books, spend time with friends and family. Now it's a struggle to get out of bed. Daily life is sometimes harder than any battle I have met thus far.
