Need objective opinion?

[Anonymous]

hey I'm just looking for some objective opinion. Lately I've been stuck in a horrible rut. Its been going on for months but I guess I no longer can distract myself. I seem to have no motivation or care for anything I do. Im kind living on barely taking any effort mode. I've been losing consistent weight in the last year due to poor eating habits. Nothing seems to take me out of this mood. Plus my boyfriend broke up with suddenly so it made it worst. I've gone to the doctors and they recommended I take antidepressants for a while until I'm back to normal. I tried to take one but It makes me fuzzy and nauseous. I'm usually a very strong decisive person and need to be focused mentally at work. But I've just been making stupid decisions like randomly quiting my six figure job and taking a less one because I just couldn't stand to work there. And then after two days in my new job I dont like it there either. but In both cases it's not the job. Its me. I seem to want to be alone without family and friends. But I have to pay the bills so I go to work yet I'm not doing work to my potential or work ethnic.

I'm so confused. I kind of wondering if I should give the drugs because mentally I want to do a lot of things but I can't seem to.

I have PTSD and I tried to kill myself 15 years ago. I nearly succeeded. Beforehand, I felt much like you are describing. I went through years of therapy and took several antidepressants and I can tell you that the meds didn't help but the therapy did. Just having someone to talk to can take your mind off of your own misery. Don't pull away from those that love and care about you; they can be your biggest asset in this time of need. I hope you find joy again.

I went through a depression stage in my life and the doctors quickly wanted to put me on antidepressants. I wasn't comfortable with that. For me exercising and getting enough sunlight was key.
Maybe you should consider counseling. That could help a lot. If you're on antidepressants don't just suddenly go off of them, that could have very negative consequences. Talk to your doctor about other alternatives.
Good luck.

How long were you on the antidepressants before giving up? It takes a while to adjust, up to a couple months. And, sometimes it takes a while, and a lot of doctor appointments to find the right antidepressent. Hope this helps.
