Hi Anon,

I discovered I was the same around your age. I lost my father and my life fell apart.

I think the medication your taking can have those side effects. I have depression among many other things and with certain meds I felt exactly the same. Like the meds made it worse. That means you should speak to your doctor about that med. because it may not agree with you and can lead to worsening conditions. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.
