I am very glad you called a hot line. I am also sad that you are not getting the medical help you need. Is there any chance of getting mental healthcare for yourself?
Lethargy, I believe, is a big sign of depression. I'm pretty sure as you are that the medications you are on might cause or exaggerate this mood. I've had some success with keeping depression at bay. I've scheduled activities. Yes, making a commitment to activities beforehand is I think important. Spontaneous activity seems to rarely work for me. I plan in advance when I am going to do things like chores, things I have to do that cause me to leave the house, and social occasions (even things like having a family member drop by). The commitment is a big part. But so too is the factor of looking forward to something. I recommend getting out your calendar and start with scheduling a few things out for yourself.
As for the doctor and their not paying you attention... Would it be hepful to lead off by listing those things that are working out in addition to trying to point out your concerns? Of course, I'm grasping at straws here.
