Struggling

[Terry4949]

I am doing as much as possible at the moment to keep myself going but the daily depression and vicious anhendonia and apathy is leaving me so fatigued everything is a struggle for every bout of this it seems to get deeper and deeper I feel lost to this illness sorry for the rant

Google mindful meditation youtube and try to relax and calm down. Otherwise try to keep an interest, busy with courses online, say Oplex courses which are simple, keep your brain going and concentrate on intellectual side - this can naturally lead to more natural feeling - is all I can suggest

Otherwise keep up with vitamins and minerals, Lion's mane mushroom, fish oil omega 3 and other brain function enhancement spices and herbs or brain food = keep yourself in good condition

Thank you for your reply I believe I have Tardive dysphoria which is the result of nearly 30 years of antidepressants use and even the physiatrist believes that it seems to be long term antidepressants harm that has caused this I have been in this state for 3 years and it’s getting worse for some like me I believe there is no getting better

How are you feeling now ?

[Terry4949 in reply to Hidden]

No change I’m afraid just feel so empty and apathetic daily life is a struggle thanks for asking

[Hidden in reply to Terry4949]

So sorry to hear that, wish I could be of more help but I'm the same, it's such a shitty feeling isn't it .... can I ask how long you have felt like this ?

[Terry4949 in reply to Hidden]

I have been struggling for about 5 years but the last 3 years have absolutely awful apathy and fatigue to do the things I once loved is so much off a struggle it just overwhelms me

[Hidden in reply to Terry4949]

Once again I'm so sorry ... are you on medication ? Do you mind me asking how old you are

[Terry4949 in reply to Hidden]

No I am not on any medication I have been off all meds now for 3 years but before that I have tried over 30 different ones I am 53 years old
