"Life is never made unbearable by circumstances but only by lack of meaning and purpose." Victor Frankel Have a great day brothers.

Gentlemen, pardon me if this is not the right platform. Based on all your experience and coming from different walks of life, I need some advise. It has been a very tough year, my wife was diagnosed with cancer, went through surgery and chemo, now a waiting game to March until the next scan. Work has become toxic and just in general, I lost my purpose, no longer interested in the things I used to love, small chores feels like climbing Mount Everest. I have become withdrawn, and prefer silence and solitude, of course this has a negative affect on my marriage, friendships and have become depressed. Feels like just another day, dragging myself out of bed, giving myself a pep talk just to face the day. Have some meds, but not working, seeing someone just causes more negative questions How do I shake this off and be who I really am? Life is not that bad, but for some reason this dark cloud is smothering me. If this topic is not allowed on this platform, I apologize, and admin may remove it. Any suggestions or input will appreciated.
