I could get better but I'm not and I'm so sick of trying

Since my last appointment, I've put my brain on pause. I haven't trusted any of the psychiatrist's I've seen and all I want is an antidepressant. Things have gotten too overwhelming to process. Whenever I have a feeling I feel like I have to make it stop. So I've just roamed around like a zombie for 3 weeks. I can barely remember what day it is but I still feel like this entire year has gone to waste.

I just wake up, walk around aimlessly, and wait for a psychiatrist appointment. I've gotten no real help or relief my entire life. I am beyond alone and I can't do it without help but I have no viable options for help. So I just spin around in circles trying to do it all alone.

I know it could get better but I can't see a reason to get there. Nothing is important to me anymore. I feel like on a chemical level I physically cannot bring myself to feel hope. It's not a decision I'm making. I have not felt hope in months.

I hear you and even though we have never met and do not know each other, I care. We seem to have some similarities my dear friend. I am here for you.

I totally get you u went through that for year and I'm by no means better but I went on prozac and it makes me feel no better I just because sort of robotic and it also makes me confused but I genuinely think it's something to look into after years of nothing happening

I to feel like there is no hope for me and I’m tired of trying. I just figure this is how the rest of my life will be. Everything I used to enjoy I could care less about. Not many things are important to me either. I feel numb most of the time. So many things I don’t care about, and not for the better, and it makes me feel like a horrible person. My partner asks what happened to the girl he fell in love with and I just don’t know. Just wanted you to know that I know exactly how you feel. You are in my thoughts.

I suggest talking with your Dr. ask about options. Look at your diet too, eating healthy did give me a bit of a lift. All the preservatives, and chemicals can change the way you feel.

Try Lucinda Bassett's books. You have to retrain your brain to get out of the repetitive negative thinking that is keeping you where you're at. There are "methods/training" (by various authors) that will take you out depression/anxiety. You just have to find the one that fits for you. You can find them online or at the library. Good Luck!
