I’ve dealt with this kind of depression before. You need to balance between “productive” sources of pleasure and generically fun, easy , meaningless sources of pleasure.
“Productive” pleasure doesn’t mean you have to start a side hustle, just something more memorable and meaningful thank a quick hit of pleasure.
For me , the most minimal version was instead of playing randomly generated rougelikes, it was playing 3d games with a plot I had to pay attention to, or a film I had to pay attention to.
Obviously, the more involved and challenging the pleasurable activity is, the more you feel like you’re growing yourself as a person. But to get the ball rolling you can try that. Then you can work on developing a skill, like painting, or music or something else. Maybe you want to learn a sport.
For me I worked up from playing Fallout: New Vegas, to playing the guitar more, to programming personal projects.
You can look this up more/talk about your therapist about : Eudaimonia and hedonism

I feel pretty fucking lost too. You will get through this.
Talk to friends and family if you can. Try therapy if that is an option.Nothing is a magic pill but slowly working on it will help with time

Self care is important, and by recognizing that you were spiraling you’re doing better than most. Hope you get the help you need to be healthy and happy.

You either die a lolcow or live long enough to become a meme. You did the latter.
Enjoy your time off, you really earned it.

I’d categorize you more as a horseback Jesus than a lolcow. Lolcows face more derision.

Some positives may come from you sharing your experience. It may help someone going down a similar path to recognize it in themselves earlier and help them out. Wishing you the best!
