I know how you feel. I have been in a depressive episode for 2 years now. I lost interest in everything, including eating, doing things, time with family, tv, the list goes on.

But I cope by doing things anyway, even when I feel bad. I don't derive any pleasure from it but I get the sense that at least I tried. I keep trying in the hopes that I spark some interest and motivation. So far no luck though. But I think this is the lowest I have ever been so it's tough to beat this.

I can't take a.d. meds but I have tried lithium, modafinil, and now Wellbutrin in combination with Latuda (maxed out on that) but so far very little improvement.

Keep trying I'm sure something will work out.

Hang in there.
