Life is depressing, I've lost my ability to connect with people. I don't leave the house, I've lost all my friends, my mom is the closest thing I have to a friend.

Everything just adds to my depression.

I sit in bed all day and google ****.

sounds like your depression has left you isolated and alone. could you enroll in classes or workshops anywhere just to get out of the house? are you seeing a therapist and pdoc to address the depression? what types of things make you feel good or used to make you feel good? can you do those activities to see if they spark some life back into you. take care.

My therapist gave up on me and says I should go intensive inpatient but my insurance won't cover it.

My I've been on 3 different antidepressants, 3 different antipsychotics, and 1 anticonvulsant over 8 months.

I'm on zyprexa 5mg and seroquel xr 150mg along with lamtical 100mg

Glad you found PC. It's a very supportive place to be and you can meet people who understand what you are going through. Just because one therapist gave up on you doesn't mean you should give up on you. There are other therapist. My depression is med resistant, too. I've been on so many I can't even remember all the names and nothing seems to help. I'm now on Seroquel and it may be helping a little bit. So don't give up there are many more meds to try and they are always coming out with new ones. Never give up.

The title sums it up for me too. I'm very much alone. I realize this isn't helping you, sorry, but I was trying to post something today and kept deleting it. No one needs to hear my long story, I just feel sooo depressed too. Guess we are all in this depression together here, at least we can reach out to someone. I also have no friends, and my mother is elderly and cant help much. Hope you find some solace in coming here

The title sums it up for me, too. It starts to feel like a vicious cycle.

I hope being here on PC may help ease some of the loneliness for you. It does for me. Sometimes. Interacting online helps a little for me, too, as I have trouble working up the energy to go anywhere. As gayleggg said, never give up.

this might not be giving up. It might be what the therapist thinks you really need. Have you asked the therapist for help finding a program that is within budget?
