The things you described are all classic symptoms of depression. Your not a loser or a douche, you have a condition called depression. You mentioned Cymbalta and I'm assuming you recently started. I recently started Lamictal. We both have to start out on low doses and work our way up. I hope you don't have to many more weeks to wait. I'll be at full dosage in three weeks. Wait 6-8 weeks for a med to kick in is hell. Like you I don't feel like talking. I've skipped church for 4 weeks to avoid socializing. If you can try to get some sunlight. Make a to do list for cleaning your house. Then try to do one task pet day or one task every two days.
