Everyday brings its share of anxiety, sadness, emptiness, loneliness, wastefulness. I have no energy, no willingness, just a big fat nothing.
They tell me the new AD will help, dont believe it!
What to do about my loved ones???
Such anguish...so much pain

I know that it can be upsetting when you are so depressed and all they want to do is put you on new meds but try to remember that they are trying to help. Hopefully soon you will find something that helps, I know depression can be overwhelming. I am sending you some hugs.

I can totally relate. I'm sorry that you have to go thru it too.
Here are hugs for you. I hope they help for a moment or two anyway.

Wastefulness, what a great word. I'm in the same situation. I wish I had answers and advice, but all I can offer is my support
Hang in there

I can't pretend this doesn't describe how I feel about myself, so I'll join the chorus.

Sometimes I imagine depression as a "disease of the will" or "volitional cancer." What happened to my desires, pleasures, drives? Where did they go?

I know other people have been helped by antidepressant medications. I've been through all sorts of ADs and other meds, and the best I can say is they may take the edge off or partially smooth out the rough spots. I'm still a mess.

And that brings me to declare, "I don't know." So thanks, Idontknow, for opening up an opportunity to identify and vent.

another day, another visit to my T who is very understanding but when I go see her all the pain comes out which she says is good, I might agree, but what to do about it???I dont want to feel all that pain forever, there has to be a way to get out of it....Some of the pain started 40 yrs+ ago and I just buried it and I did that for the last 40 years which leaves me with a lot of ground to cover...is it really useful to revisit the past??? I want to go forward, that is if I can get out of bed and out of my house....
So many questions, so few answers....But a lot of hugs for which I am very grateful for, thanks a whole bunch...
