Little lulu has a good idea there.
I would also like to shame the state system for giving up so fast... that wouldn't be florida (specifically Henderson) would it? (they did the same for me recently)...
I'm sorry you are having such a rough time right now. I wish I had more hope or advice. I was going to suggest trying other meds, but if you can;t get them, then I see little point in suggesting that. There are other classes of meds than just the two mentioned (and part of my foggy brain wants to say those were both the same class, but I'm probably wrong). There are also different med combinations they can try. I personally hate medications, but they are a good first line of treatment, especially when coupled with therapy. Are you seeing a therapist? Would you qualify for adjunct services (in-home services or case-management, or something like that) to help you get out of the funk enough to be able to work on getting out completely?
As Little Lulu said, sometimes it's doing the littlest things that you don;t think you have the energy for, and just keep doing them. Eventually you notice a change and the little things become easier because they have become habit. From there, you can move on to more little things, and eventually (gasp!) bigger things
I totally feel you on wishing I could live a normal life. I'm close to your age, and finding I have nothing to offer right now. This morning is a bit better, so I'm bit more articulate and hopeful right now. Most of the time however, I feel like a lump of so much doggie-doo... and it sucks. Most meds make me worse, so my struggle is to find someone willing to prescribe just prn anxiety and sleep meds while pushing me in the right direction for treatment. I have no insurance, no money, no job, and very few friends. But I have been lucky enough to find a small group of people willing to bend over backwards to help me get the right kind of help... this particular state system really sucks however, and resources are VERY limited.
Anyway, I'm rambling. sorry...
