I feel empty

I feel lonely and less than empty. I do feel joy. I'm constantly tired, and I think my depression anxiety is wearing down my body.

Rebekah, this is very common. Anxiety and depression may be psychiatric disorders, but we can't ignore the impact that they have on our overall body/physical functioning as well. That's why it becomes so very important to take good care of your physical body and health to the extent that you can - try a daily yoga practice, or a meditation practice, or walks in nature. Connect to something or someone other than yourself on a daily basis. Decreasing your loneliness will likely enhance your mood as well.
