I don’t know what to do, I just need support.
Hi beachbabe,

This is a good place for support

I have a couple of suggestions. One is to read these notes

Also, I always think it's a good idea to carefully check for physical or nutritional issues that could be dragging you down. You can find some references here

I agree with you that antidepressants really have a bad record of doing more harm than good in the long run.
