My depression is ruining my life.

I've lost interest in practically everything and every day is exactly the same. I wake up, play video games to shut my brain up and then go to sleep. There's... Really nothing more to my life and it all seems pointless and I hate it all.

I can't control my emotions despite a decade of therapy and medications, so I've stuffed up my relationship with my partner and I have minimal, if any, real friends left.

I'm getting help from a psychiatrist and I'm on the good ol' 'Californian rocket fuel', but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. I don't even know why I'm still holding on, I'm tired of hurting.

Depression can certainly take its toll. Have you told your psychiatrist that the meds aren't working? There are other options but I can't think of any right now as I'm in the same boat with you. Except with me it's watching tv instead of video games. I hope you get some relief soon.

Do you play online multiplayer games?
Can you get interested in new games?
Would you say the games are more effective than the meds in keeping you afloat?
