Feeling down lately

Just writing down my thoughts seems to help a bit. Got home from work and feeling pretty down today. I am so thankful for everything I have. Awesome wife, good paying job, great family, etc. I have been depressed for a few months just about everyday. No motivation or self confidence. On tons of meds that supposed to help. I can’t shake it

Meds are one puzzle piece, and not nearly as useful when not used in conjunction with therapy or managed by an actual psychiatrist.

There are a hundred meds you could use, and literally millions of combinations. Finding the right fit, testing it for 6-10 weeks, trying it out and then tapering down to try a whole new regimen is tedious.

Don't lose the meds, but think about self-help methods or therapy meant to examine the reasons [i]why[/i] you feel the way you do and teach skills to manage and ameliorate it. There's nothing wrong with doing a mental wellness tune-up once in a while. I highly recommend it. Whatever you find, good luck.
