...I'm so lost. I was in a violent relationship for 8 years, have been out of relationship 8 years and I'm stuck. I've existed, I've not lived. I've been numb to the world around me. I had a breakdown that lasted 5 months, I'm seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist. I'm getting the help I need BUT now that I'm recovering, I've realised I'm empty. I feel there's nothing more to me than what you see. If you were to ask me what my passions are, I have none, if you were to ask me what I do for a hobby, I have none. I feel I have no purpose, I feel like I'm dumb, I feel that I wouldn't be enough because there's not that much to me. I'm so lost its scary.
I don't know what I'm asking for here I guess I just need to hear from others that have been in similar situations

I think it's not uncommon to wake up one day to feel like you do. It's quite normal!
I found just trying some stuff, testing out some hobbies, some get dropped, some become lifelong is a start, doing some volunteer work, just trying stuff.
Time to rebuild yourself...get out there give things a go and find out what you enjoy
Try things, even if you only do them once. And don't put pressure on yourself to like them or even do them well. Belly dancing, hopping, other fun physical activities. Alot of places offer first lesson for free.
