Does depression medication actually work?
I have purposely avoided asking my doc for medication but I seriously do not know how to cope.
[b]despite my efforts[/b], my life is not going right.
[u]
I've looked at every area of my life: [/u]
[b]Spiritual[/b]- don't see God anywhere
[b]Mind/Emotions[/b]- full of anxiety and hopelessness
[b]Family[/b]-no togetherness
[b]Body[/b]- hurts everyday, constant tiredness, poor sleep
[b]Knowledge[/b]- lots of stuff i don't know/understand
[b]Money/finances[/b]: think everyone could use more
[b]Career[/b]: never been even a little happy on jobs
[b]Social Life[/b]- nonexistent
And I know I've put in great effort to help myself with all the above.
At the end of the rope. Maybe medicine will help before I fall off
🟣In case anyone is wondering "what has this person tried"? Read below ⬇️
Spiritual: I've spoken to my previous pastor (no longer here (covid)). Also joined a new church, joined church group and share my thoughts, study the word,pray
Mind/emotions: go outdoors when weather would safely allow, write/journal, see 2 therapists for about 6 months, pray, listen to inspirational messages.
Family: suggest cheap family outings such as events, going to each breakfast or lunch. Reaching out to extended family to have outings (family reunion coming soon. I was a teen at the last one).
Body- chiropractor 2 years, physical therapy on 2 separate occasions, stretch. Soon will try water aerobics
Knowledge: i read, watch documentary
Money: save what i can. I don't have unnecessary subscription
Career: switch jobs if I'm not happy
Social life: joined church groups, reached out to old friends and cousins, tried to get my siblings together, joined meetup, created own meetup group twice, bumble bff
ALL TO VERY LITTLE AVAIL
Honestly starting to see why people just choose $ui€ide. Life shouldn't be this hard!
