You could be suffering from depression, and it may be worth speaking to a doctor.
- symlinkk 4y agoDoctors don’t have answers. They’ll give you SSRIs which will numb your emotions and ruin your drive, or they’ll refer you to a therapist who will take your money in exchange for listening to you vent once a week.
- dntrkv 4y agoIs your comment really necessary? Psychiatrists (and meds) have saved a lot of people’s lives, both figuratively and literally. Not sure why you would even mention therapists. Having a trained third party listen and help you navigate things in your life has been a god send for many people I know, including myself.
- symlinkk 4y agoI would definitely encourage others to try doctors and see if it helps. I’m just saying for me it hasn’t (so far).
- coev 4y agoDon't discount talk therapy as an aid to reduce depression symptoms. I did different medications for 10 years with limited or adverse results; talk therapy by comparison has been way more effective, even if it's a big rubber duck session sometimes. I'm fortunate to have found a therapist that takes my insurance though so YMMV
