Have you told your P that the meds aren't working? If you feel that way he/she should change your prescription, if you have and they did nothing then changing your P is the best option. I do agree that you have to be willing to help yourself but I know that is the hardest thing to do. I suggest not rushing yourself and as my therapist always says: "Take it one day at a time, celebrate the little victories and work your way up." You may feel down and hopeless but if you focus on the positive as much as you can, even if you have to crawl, you'll be able to get out of the pit.
