I'm new to the forums so hello everybody.
I'm here looking for advice. I have had clinical depression for about two years now and it's really starting to get on top of me. To the point I found it hard to get out of bed.
I consider myself to be a smart creative person but I never seem to do anything anymore. I don't even wash or shave unless I have to be some where. For the last few mouths I have just been lying around all day as I don't have the energy for anything!
I have been on SSRIs for sometime now and they help but not to the extent that I need.
I have no job because of my because of my various conditions and I fear I will lose my home soon unless I do something about this.
I feel like a lot of my depression stems from my inability to do anything. I have no motivation what so ever and I don't know what do do about that.
I went to my GP today to ask for advice about treating my fatigue and asked about medications like modafinil and he told me that it wouldn't be suitable for me. Instead he just sent me to get a pile of bloods done, I didn't feel he was taking me seriously.
I'm really at my wits end. I'm willing to try just about anything in order to help me. So advice is welcome!
