I haven't found a song that really inspired me, even cognitively, since... looking back on my facebook, February 14th. It was a retro soul song. I haven't added very much music to my collection either. Two years ago, I could still hardly feel music, but I was at least inspired from time to time listening to the lyrics.

Edit: When I first started writing I had a ton of motivation, and now it's just whither away. Did I just obtain bad habits?

Not sure if you saw this? Could you actually have depression? Is that why they are suggesting ect? I can't remember your Dx...I know your dad has sz but not sure about you. Will say that as a mood stabilizer the APs tend to suck...they'll block mania but not always depression. I know you've tried the gamut of meds but have you tried cbt? Cbt will work for depression.....if you don't have the time energy you might want to try the woebot.....he's a fun little guy and teaches the basics of cbt in like five minutes a day.
