I just can't seem to get motivated to do anything, I feel like I have nothing to live for.

I don't really know anymore, nothing makes me happy these days. I used to like reading a lot but it's become a chore.

Mostly fiction books. Fantasy, historical novels, contemporary fiction, anything really.

That's really great! I used to struggle with finding joy in reading as well. I was a graduate student at the time so I was mostly reading research papers.

Have you tried picking up a new hobby? Something you have always thought might be fun but haven't ever tried because of lack of time or energy?

Question
I wanted to try rock climbing, but I don't know. I'm not really in the best shape.

I do like reading now. I took some time after school to take care of my mental health by going on walks and being in nature. Overtime, I started to pick up books again. I've found I really like true crime and autobiographies the best

Rock climbing is so fun! Have you tried taking a beginners course? I started there. I was very nervous I would be made fun of, but found that it was a really supportive community.

I guess I can give it a try. But I don't know if it will be enough.

You might find it's just the community of people that you need right now. From my experience, they were all super friendly and open to helping me along the way.

Affirmation and Reassurance
I guess you're right. I tend to get caught up in my own thoughts, which never have anything good to say about me.

Just from chatting with you, you seem like such a nice person. I don't think anyone would have mean things to say about you.
assistant
Reflection of feelings
That's kind of you to say.

I really hope you'll take the leap to trying rock climbing! It was so fun for me when I did it and I can't wait to get back out there to learn more (hopefully COVID will be over soon!) :-)
assistant
Reflection of feelings
Yeah I think I'll check if any gyms are open right now and try a class.
