Uhg. I am so frustrated. Therapy isn't working again and I just think to myself "what is the point of even going?" each week. I've been like this for 31 years so I'm not sure why I thought therapy could help me, or meds. There is only one med left on the market for me to try and it costs a lot of money, but its only a mood stabiliser so even if I did win the lottery, no luck there. The meds I am on now rot my teeth.. you should see them. Tricyclics.. never go on them. They rot your teeth big time (they do something to your saliva the dentist tells me).
Sometimes I wonder will I ever be able to wash my clothes again? to shower again? to be able to enjoy something again? I have not enjoyed something in 19 years. I remember the last time quite clearly but as I get older the memory fades. Anhedonia.. i would say that is the worst part of this depression. Will I ever get a job again? Be able to leave the house again? I have this university degree.. will I ever be able to use it again? It has been so long. |

Have you always been going top psychiatrists? If so, why not try psychologists? Personally, I think they're better anyway. I've been to both, and I strongly recommend psychologists!! They give more feedback, and are just alot more helpful in my book. I got the most help from one than any psychiatrist ever gave me.
If you haven't tried one, give one a try. I know you'll be glad you did!! God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Hello, KazzaX! I think frustration is the right response to your situation, maybe even an understated response.

how long have you been with your t? it sounds like the work you are doing isn't working, and it may be time to reevaluate your goals and your plan of action. if nothing works, i would try a new therapist.
are you seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist? a great psychiatrist will always have something out there for you to try if your med isn't working. there IS hope.

YEah I am seeing both, psychiatrist and psychologist. Psychologist does hte therapy and pdoc does the meds. I have been through many, many therapists over the years, from many, many different types of therapy. The problem lies with me. I think it would be a copout if I just said "well they all must have sucked".. i doubt that it is true. There literally is only one med left on the market here I have not tried like I said, but i cant afford it.
