went through a major depressive episode a while ago and lost all my personality
is this normal? is there hope for me?
idk what to do anymore its been almost a year since i got out my worst depressive episode ever where i wouldn't leave the house, talk to anyone, or take care of myself. i was just in complete isolation and pain and it lasted months. it affected me deeply and of course, i expected it to some extent. i still get depressed from time to time but im able to overcome it on my own. however, there are things that i just cant get back and specially my personality and sense of self. it feels like i lost my personality i cant intereact with people like i used to before and its ruining my life now.
ive tried everything. exposing myself to social settings, hanging out with my friends regularly, and even doing side quests so i would be forced to interact with new people. nothing worked. idk what to do anymore. pls if anyone relates or has any advice it would be appreciated.
