We aren't doctors here, but what you describe sounds very familiar; sounds like depression. Depression is sometimes temporary and sometimes it's not. It's an inbalance of the chemicals in your brain. Whatever it is, you need help. The first one to talk to would be your doctor. The meds that are out there aren't just happy pills like narcotics. They actually help to restore the balance of the chemicals. Some work for some people and some don't. It's pretty much a trial and error thing. Some of have been treated by general practitioners, some of us have had therapy and some of us see psychiatrists because they know much more about the meds than regular doctors do. Psychiatrists don't do much therapy anymore. They just stick to prescribing meds.

Glad you're here. It's your first step towards getting better.

Keep talking to us. Just knowing you aren't alone is a great help.
