Are you getting any kind of treatment/drugs? Are you eating OK?
It's probably impossible for you to take much care of yourself right now, but maybe you know someone who could help you out with making appointments or making food or helping you clean or whatever you need help with right now.
You can't express yourself artistically right now, but this time still isn't being wasted. You're always building up a bank of things to draw from once you are able to express yourself artistically. Suffering like this is also good for honing your empathy, ime. It would be better if you could express yourself artistically right now, but you're always improving, even if it's not in the ways you wanted to be improving right now.
As much as I'd like to go back to a time when my brain wasn't mush, I have a lot better idea now about what's important and I would have been wasting my non-mushy brain on stupid stuff anyway.
You will probably feel way way way better at some point, be crying with joy, etc., but it's impossible to see that or believe it right now. It happens, though. It can happen on its own for some people, or with treatment for other people. Depression and ADHD drugs and other treatments are always being worked on. Stuff that can help you might already exist, or it will be developed soon.
I feel like a hypocrite for saying this when I feel the worst I've ever felt, but I remember how I've felt during more lucid moments and I've seen it work out for lots of other people.
Odds are that you will end up coming out of it OK and with a better perspective than before. Please don't give up yet. We need as many good people as possible.
I'm with you.
