I’m sorry you are going through a rough patch. I know this is very hard for you. Seeing a Pdoc should be the best way of getting out of this swamp. I used American ginseng to lift up my mood. I don’t take antidepressant. It works for me. Maybe you can try this?
@Wave , you might try writing down 10 to 50 things you are grateful for. If you can’t think of 10 things, call your pdoc. If you can think of over 10 things, you just might feel better. Keep writing until you think of 30 to 50 things. You should feel better by then.
Doing this often works for me. If I can remember to do it.
Before meds I would shower every day and brush my teeth twice a day and also shave every 3 days now I shower once a month brush my teeth once a day for a few seconds and rarely shave
@Wave I can’t take any anti depressants so I have the same problem as you. I’m so sorry you are struggling. I wish I could help you more other than to say I understand what you are going through, and hopefully your doctor can find something that works for you. Hugs.
