I'm stuck in the deep rabbit hole of the absurd and my depression has gotten worse over the years due to existential crisis. I have lost empathy for anything and I barely experience any emotions. I feel like I am slowly turning into a sociopath. How do I get help? Any therapist/psychiatrist you recommend in Seattle? I don't need someone who's only going to tell me everything is gonna be fine and other bs of that nature. Never gone to therapy before cuz I never believe in it and it has been heavily commercialized in this woke culture.
TC: less than yours.

Unfortunately, what you are going through is nothing but a side effect of the society we live in. There’s no other option but to cope.
No offense. Just my take on it. Therapists are supposed to report to the authorities if they hear anything wrong. Why would you trust them?
Then over few weeks, I downloaded old games I used to play: played for a week and then uninstalled them. Then got bored again. I think that's the key. You want to reach a place where you are bored again. Boredom is the first step.
Then I started making youtube videos didn't care about quality just putting arguments I'd have with a friend into sound only video. After 10 or so videos, I felt bored again, so I started to want some animation and started to teach myself after effects, and I just followed tutorials with no rush. After a month I was making complicated animations and what not in AE. It was something new, fun, but small and doable.
Again after 30 or so videos I felt I have had it... another recurring theme... just let yourself drift. Then I got into reading books, read like 500 pages. Then I was sick of reading too, tried audio books (lot of self help books and biz books are garbage lol).
Got into anime. Got sick of it. It seems like I'm bouncing from place to place, but at least now I "want" something, not apathetic about everything. Over the course of 6 months I feel I am back to normal. Last few months so I watched lot of algo/DS/Design videos and passed meta/google/linkedin all at once. It pays to be in the happy place which is easier to get to if you are slow and steady.
