Life I'm depressed - Page 14

So, I'm not really happy...on the surface things seem great, I have a decent job, Chiefs are kicking ass, I have a nice crib in the country, a couple cars, play some music on the weekends...

But I'm absolutely depressed. I miss my daughter, I miss my ex-girlfriend, Brittney...

I want to move to NY, but I have to wait for my job.

So, it seems like I'm stuck here, at least for a bit...

Not much is bringing me pleasure, I was so depressed today at work...I get weird thoughts, not like I want to hurt myself, but just...musings on the pointlessness of going to work every single day, just to pay to exist, just to really pay for the kid that I never see...

I'm actually pretty damn lonely, even in a roomful of people.

It sucks.

But how about online video conversations?

It will not replace the real feelings, but maybe heal a little bit.

We'll see.

Moving this weekend, so as soon as I get settled, maybe life will slow down enough for that to happen.

I take trintellix 20mg. Works well.
Still get an occasional brain zap. Twice a day or so.

What are the side effects?
Don't want anything that causes weight gain or sexual side effects...

All SSRIs(selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors) have the same side effects, although providers will deny any side effects.
Weight gain possible ( improve diet and exercise) brain zaps(like a mini electric shocks) and lowered sexual desire.
It’s your call. Trintellix works. But lifestyle can offset the side effects. I walk 10 miles a day and have cut out soda, added salt, chips and bread.
Sex? Do you want to feel better and do it once or twice a week instead of three times.
Brain zaps? Varies among individuals.

I didn't want to read through all the posts, but have you thought about a therapist? Not medication but just talk therapy. There is no shame in that. And everyone needs help from time to time.

Had a buddy that took that briefly. Said the brain zaps scared the shit out of him. Took almost 3 months to ween himself off of it.

Almost every day. On Mondays, I see a therapist, Wednesdays I see a counselor, Fridays I have group therapy, then I go to support group on Tuesdays and Saturdays.

I see a therapist on Tuesdays for anxiety. I had a panic attack in the hospital and that was the breaking point for me. But then one doctor prescribed Valium and another doctor prescribe something else for anxiety and they didn't tell me not to take them at the same time and now I have a badd reaction to the medicine and was really confused yesterday. I'm better today but I'm still pretty loopy.
