Does anyone else feel a constant, deep sadness about the loss of your old self (when you were feeling well and did not have to take meds)? I have been ill for over six years and now realize that true recovery is an impossible dream. I lament the loss of my energy, my creative spirit, my music, my zest for life, my joy, my life force...I was an athlete but now feel only sadness and lethargy...and envy when I see others feeling good and doing all the outdoor things I used to do. Everything has been replaced by anxiety, depression and a drugged, spaced-out feeling. I'm existing, not living.
