Depression meds

I hate starting a new medication. This one can take up to a few weeks to start kicking in. Today i just feel hopeless. Like nothing i do is right or good enough. Im feel like im a horrible husband witch is why she's leaving me and im not doing enough for my kids

The most important lesson I've ever learned about mental health issues is this:

Depression is a liar!!

as someone who's been on depression meds for almost 2 months after a severe bout of anxiety and depression i can tell you it does help. it will never make you 100% perfectly happy but it can help smooth out the rough edges and get you to a place where you feel in control enough to start making progress in picking up the pieces and starting anew. I would recommend talk therapy in conjuction to the meds, has helped me a ton. I wish you the best!

@SW-User thanks for the kind words and support. Ive been on a few different depression and anxiety meds most of my life. I've also done talk therapy weekly for eyes. It just with the new med changes i feel really down and quality about everything right now. I just have to ride it out until the meds kick in

That will be the depression talking. As long as you do your best each day thats good enough. You got to tell yourself that.
