It's change, and change is very hard to deal with.

No, but it shows how far you've come and how much work you've put into it.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!
My counsellor said something similar. She thinks i've come a long way too. I've gone from feeling completely numb to feeling sad and angry. I was hoping for some happiness to creep in there at some point but I'm struggling to see how that can happen now.
Sorry for moaning on! I didn't mean for my first post to be so negative.
You have no need to be sorry. This is your thread and your place to say whatever you need to say. The happiness will happen![]()
Tên përdu, jhamâi së rëcôbro
Don’t ever apologise for talking about how you feel
The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.
Thank you all for being so kind. This is a lovely forum.
Thank you![]()
In time the happiness will come - but now you'll have to search for it. It's finding the small tiny things to hold on to - a lovely cuppa, a hot shower, the smell of coffee/baking, a line in a comedy show that made you smile, a daffodil smiling..... Each little thing will build up more and more and it will help.
Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

Does anyone here suffer from dissociative amnesia?
Different perspective - having done a lot of the 'ground work' with your current counsellor, you may feel able to open up even more to someone new. You may have a better rapport with them - you just never know. How you are feeling now may not be how you are feeling tomorrow, or next week, or next month.
I hope you continue to make progress.
