I think you know better than anyone what you need. There are studies, after all, that show that medication is no more useful than therapy in some cases. By the time these drugs start working and you find the right one your episode can be over.

I'm in a similar situation…I was doing terribly before, now I'm better but not quite well, but I can't seem to get my life back on track. I desperately need a job too.

Are you able to see a therapist?
