Get your blood work done, just to be sure there isn't some physiological issue, like chronic inflammation.
Don't expect any miracles from meds.
Diet, exercise, sleep.
Find things to look forward to.
Take it one day at a time.
- justanything 1y agoBlood work came back normal, so doesn't seem to physiological. I have tried exercise, it helps with moods but not really with executive function. I have taken it one step at a time for so long, can't do it anymore unless i can see some hope of solving this. This is no way to live
- il-b 1y agoAre your thyroid hormones ok, specifically?
- justanything 1y agoYes, they are, (un)fortunately.
- ProllyInfamous 1y agoMy twin always tells me (when I'm expressing sadness): "You need something to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to." It usually helps. When I need more words to chew over, I re-read ViolentAcres' incredible post "Most People are Sad for a Reason" [1]. Thanks for my annual reminder. >“I learned that I wasn’t sad because there was something wrong with my brain. I learned that I was sad because my life sucked ... you should be wary of the Doctor who tells you a pill is a fix for your broken mind. The way I see it, you have a lot of reasons to be sad right now. So if that’s what you’re feeling, that seems about right to me.” —linked author's grandmother [1] https://violentacres.com.jimfaulkner.net/most-people-are-depressed-for-a-very-good-reason/ https://violentacres.com.jimfaulkner.net/most-people-are-dep...
