I am seeing professionals, but not much seems to have helped. I guess I feel less like I miss her, and more like I miss a companion. I suppose that’s a tiny step in the right direction.
Mindfulness is the first step in emotional healing.
It’s being able to turn toward and acknowledge our difficult thoughts and feelings—such as inadequacy, sadness, anger, or confusion with a spirit of openness and curiosity.
Self-compassion involves responding to these difficult thoughts and feelings with kindness, sympathy, and understanding so that we soothe and comfort ourselves when we’re hurting.
Research has shown that self-compassion greatly enhances emotional well-being. It boosts happiness, reduces anxiety and depression, and can even help maintain healthy lifestyle habits such as diet and exercise.
Being both mindful and compassionate leads to greater ease and well-being in our daily lives.
And lastly, time helps.

Grow some shrooms and try micro-dosing. SSRIs are the devil.

Mate do you self medicate at all with weed or alcohol? If so you need to quit cold turkey and have a 2 week dopamine reset. No "fun". Just work and gym and sunshine. Get 16,000 steps per day, most of them outside. Try keto. Try intermittent fasting.

I have read your message and will ponder it and respond tomorrow.
Until then, remember it is all temporary and can change and often. You make the change.
Hang in there.

In addition to my advice above, forcing yourself to get out of bed, showering, and getting ready for the day (even if you have nowhere to be) can completely change your outlook on the day and yourself. If you look in the mirror and see a guy that’s been in his pajamas all day and hasn’t shaved or washed his hair and groomed himself, then you will think you’re that guy. You’re NOT that guy.
That’s just perfect.

Good luck!

I’m dealing with a dose of it myself. I need to lose 10 pounds so I’ll probably start exercising. I think the cashier at the hardware store might have a thing for me, so that helps.
Does anyone need any AC filters? I got a lot of em.

Not sure of your age, but you sound like you are getting the been there, done that, doesn't excite me type of mentality. It starts off subtle like, going out to bars partying doesn't excite me anymore because of the craziness, etc... Due to this being a common opinion that only gains favoritism as people age, it goes unnoticed. However, this is just the beginning, soon you rationalize why sports don't excite you, then tv shows/movies, then exercising, then just simply getting dressed in more than pj's. Before you know it, you are going to be that ornery old man dressed in a robe and slippers screaming at kids from the driveway yelling stay off my lawn!
Go watch Grumpier old Men and then try to figure out how to not be him.
Surely there are things out there that will excite you. I recommend you travel and explore new things in new places. You will be amazed at how much shite is out there that you had no clue about.

My newly single over 50yr old nothing special looking brother got on Bumble and the amount of fine arse women throwing the poonony at him is unfrickingbelievable. It's almost laughable. Do what you want with that info.

The way out is through.
Depression sucks. Those that haven't been through it don't really understand it, although many really do want to help.
Seeking professional help is good. I'd suggest to continue to do that. If it leads down the path of suicidal ideation, then you might actually need inpatient as someone else suggested.
Try for small victories. Just get up and make the bed. Try to build from small things. There's been periods where I've been through something similar and it is very hard to find the motivation to do anything.
Just don't give up yet. You can always give up tomorrow, just not today. Hang in there OP.

Circadian rhythms, daily Mass, and walks at the park with your head up so you have to interact with people. You may be missing your companion, but you aren't alone.
Whether you lost your partner by death or divorce, as painful as it may be, the Bible and a good dog will go a long way toward getting your thinking squared away.

I went through the same thing about 15 years ago. Make some life changes, start going to the gym, exercise works wonders for stress/anxiety and depression. Its not a cure all, but it is 1 thing I know for a fact helps.

quote:Try intermittent fasting combined with “keto” (not strict keto, but focus on high protein/low carb/healthy fats to keep you full). I eventually moved my fasting window to one meal a day and keep the diet clean. I break my fast with a bunch of protein like meat, then eat vegetables/salad, then something fatty like Greek yogurt with natural peanut butter mixed in. Eat until full. Black coffee and water during the day. The TD health/fitness board may be worth checking out.
Obviously, I’m a bit overweight. I want to get back under 2 bills, so at minimum I need to lose 15 pounds.
If you fast, drink lots of water, and eat natural whole foods, your mental state may improve. Mine did immensely. So much more energy, clarity, and drive restored! You will almost certainly lose the weight in the process.
ETA: also get engrossed in a classic book. I suggest War & Peace!

Go to a group fitness gym where you can be motivated by others as well

Sunshine and vitamin D is key.
Take a weekend trip to do something exciting.
Skydive or go on an adventure of some kind.

Find some kind of retreat or club with people who share common interests. A few days away from phones, internet...talking to people or spending time alone.
Staying in the house, staying in your own head will lead to long term depression.
