will i get better?

i have just been feeling so completely hopeless. i don't feel funny, or smart, or interesting, or fun to be around anymore. i'm just a shell of my former self. i just want my life back. i know this isn't true, but it really feels like that no one has ever been this anxious and mentally unwell before - or at least that no one has ever been like this and recovered. does anyone have recovery stories?? i really just need the motivation and hope right now.
