First of all, I want to say thank you for opening up this topic, it can be a vulnerable one, but it's incredibly important to talk about and discuss. I commend your bravery : )

As someone who has suffered with depression, anxiety, and PTSD I can empathize with you for wanting to improve your life, but not being quite sure how or where to start. Here's the truthful answer to your question, based on my own experience: It's possible, but not guaranteed.

I think it's amazing that you're looking for solutions, you are actively trying to improve your life just by trying to figure out how to improve it -- that's incredibly hopeful. But going to therapy and learning skills, be it psychological or hobby-related aren't going to improve your life if you don't fully commit to them, or if you're using them to cover up the real thing that's making your life not as fulfilling as you want.

If you want to improve your life through therapy, be ready to be present and open and vulnerable. Most therapy sessions actually don't end with the patient feeling better, but rather uncovering something deeper about themselves they didn't previously understand before --- it's the long game.

If you want to improve your life through learning skills, I commend you, but these aren't going to solve the root issue of whatever problem you are facing. They can definitely help tone down the symptoms, but you might feel as though you're constantly beating around the bush of something.

Therapy and related skills are excellent ways to make improvements in your life and feel more fulfilled and happy, but you have to make sure you put in the effort and look at the experience through the lens of the truth of your situation, whatever it may be.

I specialize in Ikigai, which is partly helping people find their life's purpose and meaning. If you want to have a call, I would be more than happy to help you find avenues for improving your life. Either way, I hope you're able to improve your life so that it aligns better with what you want it to be, truly.
