I spent two years in bed with severe depression
Had every med there is for it. What actually helped me was eighteen months’ therapy. When I was where you are now I just tried to get through the day, or if that felt like too much then just the next hour. I found being with people helped, not necessarily talking about “it” or at all, some of the time, though the avoidant part of me made that very challenging to do sometimes. This too will pass, and it will, but waiting for it to pass is s**t. I hope they find a med that helps you - as you know meds don’t “cure” anything but help cap off the tops of the highs and the bottoms of the lows. And I really hope you find the right person or people to talk to in a therapeutic setting. Keep a’troshin on, old thing x
