When it began, I immediately asked help to my father, because I knew it was better not to hide it. So he redirected me to a psychiatrist, which gave me immediately the antidepressant Seroplex, which didn't work.
Then I tried to understand, and to talk. I read many articles of a good psychotherapist, then I talked to him several times. Even though he was very good, I didn't have much things to say, because I didn't see what was wrong with me. I never had personal problems of any kind, I just suddenly stop liking every activities, and I was losing each of my friend due to that. I'm alone since then, even if some people like me a lot. I can't have any fun with them, and it's frustrating.
Then I tried antidepressants again, of many kind, and not only one like last time : I tried ALL I could try. I didn't count, but more than 10 for sure. During months, I tried many, many. And noone had effects. Last one I tried was an IMAO, I really thought it would work because I heard it was good with endogenous depression (not caused from exterior), and I never had any personal problems, but it didn't work. I asked my doctor if I could do electroshocks, because I heard it was recommended when antidepressants are not working, but he said a big no.
Now I am trying to just live, but this is not really working. I really left anyone I knew. I spent most of my time on videogames, not having fun but at least spending time while I was trying to find a solution, but now it doesn't work anymore. I'm asking your help now. What would you do in my case?
Sorry for the long post. I am not sure if it's the right place for it, but it seems. Thanks for those who have the patience to read it.
