I'll be 32 in November, and after a breakup with a soulmate, I'm reeling. The last 3-4 months have been absolutely hell with the depression I've been facing.

I have a social work degree, licensure, and a job that pays just above 60k. So I'm living independently and able to support myself, but I'm not thriving.

I had a sense of purpose, love, and safety both my ex. When I don't have purpose or direction I really stay stagnant. I excelled in college and graduate school because I had a path.

After this breakup, which is the 2nd with this particular individual, my life has become do bleak. I started buying vinyls of bands I like amd bought a used guitar to learn but most things feel pointless, unsatisfying, and just things I'm doing to pass the time.

Where do I even start when everything is still overwhelming but I'm pressuring myself because I'm doing very little but smoking weed. I wouldn't have gotten my med card had it not been for my ex.

I used to be happy single and had hobbies (video games, fly fishing, skateboarding) but, as I mentioned, I no longer enjoy anything.

This is a general rant really influenced by pain and grief, so I apologize. Should I try a life coach? I've been in therapy for awhile.

Thanks for reading and any responses. I'm sorry my question isn't more clear.
