How do I become a real person now that I have my depression under control?

Asked by tinyfaery (44107points) February 14th, 2023

It’s taken over 10 years (well 3 decades but whatever) to get my depression under control to a point where I have energy, I want to do things, and I am not miserable most of the time, but it’s almost like I am a different person

I don’t know what I like to do anymore, I don’t know how to react to some people (example: I have lost 2 friend-like people because I suddenly had things to say about their opinions, or their actions when previously I barely even paid attention.) I find myself pausing and not feeling like I know myself.

Do you have any advice on how to overcome this? I am in therapy, but I was hoping some of you had anecdotal suggestions about how I can stop feeling like this.
