In the last few months, something has changed in my outlook on the world and myself. I'm not sure if it's depression, anxiety, or what. It all sort of escalated after my doctor prescribed Wellbutrin for my lack of energy. One evening, I came home and had no interest in anything. It was like ennui, I think. It's as if I reasoned out that any kind of entertainment that I've always done (movies, TV, computer, music, reading, cleaning, etc.) was a waste of time and that I was going nowhere. I saw my whole life before me, so to speak, and realized that I'd be paying a hefty student loan for the next 30 years and that I'd be working the same job (which I like) for that time. I began to realize that I would be alone after my parents pass away (I spend weekends with them from time to time).

I'll be turning 33 in the next few weeks, and I've been living alone and quite content for the past 10 years. Is this a mid-life crisis? Am I losing my mind? Periodically, the ennui feeling returns (as it did today for a short period). My doctor did give suggest I stop the Wellbutrin, and start Zoloft (which didn't work too well on my GERD). Then I tried Effexor, which made me feel like I was going to explode. (Seriously...I was extremely nervous.) Right now, I'm not taking any medicine and I feel much, much better. I think this may have been caused by the medicine, but once the door has been opened in the mind, it's difficult to shut again. Does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
