But all the same, it's very good to have you here Cold Soul. Hang in there please, keep reaching out, and again - welcome.

Thanks. When I reach out to others in real life I receive one of two reactions: either they don't believe me because they think my has been perfect to have depression, or they would say or imply I am just being lazy and play victim.
I believe many things have led to my depression, from genetic makeup, to childhood trauma, to social anxiety that has led to total social isolation and being unemployed.
I haven't seen a professional about depression, but I had before about ADHD, and anxiety. I may consider this option as my life is not progressing in any direction, although I had bad side effects from taking medications before.
