I don't have or want any friends because I am pretty antisocial. Yet, I am in a relationship with this girl, who I just got pregnant (an wanted to at the time, terrible judgement), and now I have zero interest in her and continuously think and picture every single fault she has. I have cheated on every girlfriend I've ever had and don't know why. Sooner or later I find something wrong with every girlfriend, so far, that disgusts me. I use drugs more often than not and would say I have a problem with drugs, alcohol, gambling, and the like. I am a liar. I have stolen from family and friends. I have had my fair share of legal problems. I have obsessive thoughts about all types of stuff and can't make them stop, and most of the thoughts are worries. One minute I feel like I can do anything and then I feel I can do nothing the next. My grandfather just had a stroke. He was like the dad I never had. I have gone to see him in the hospital a few times, but I feel like I don't care and that absolutely kills me. For the last few months, or more, I have barely left the house. I pretty much have no interest in anything. I need to get a job because I got fired about 5 months ago. I have worked at this place for about 5 years, but quit the same place 11 times in that 5 years. I was a finance director at a car dealership, but want nothing to do with sales anymore. I have absolutely no idea what to do for work or with life anymore. I can't even figure out what I like anymore.

That is my story, the brutal truth of it.

Yes, I am on medication and don't feel like any of the medications I have been on have ever helped.
So talk to your doctor about this, John. Many of us have been where you are. The doctor is the key to fixing what's wrong. If he/she doesn't listen, find a new one. Also try to find a counselor to talk to about all of this. We all need a live person to listen to us and to believe us.
