Has anyone had positive results from working with a hypnotist? For me, the main issues I’d like to address are chronic feelings of emptiness - a lack of emotions, lack of intellectual interests, lack of passion, lack of motivation, lack of sensory engagement, etc. 

It’s outside of the box but I’ve had 11 years of therapy and my life still feels purposeless. I’m just smoking cigarettes and working a retail job (that I’m grateful to be able to work - sometimes my mental health is so bad I can’t work), and waiting to die. 

I want to care about something. I want to feel engaged in others, the world around me, activities.

I’ve tried so many hobbies. And exercise doesn’t do anything for me, either. I took up meditation, can’t say I got too much out of that. 

I don’t know what to do with my time that might feed me and make life feel more worthwhile.
