I mean I’m supposed to be on Prozac (ran out, can’t afford copay for refill appointment), and I take Wellbutrin. Both work better than zero, but they’re not enough. Without them, I wouldn’t be applying for work, doing any of my hobbies, or even writing on Lemmy.
What changed over the past few years is that I went back to school and had to quit my day job, which means no more “adult money”. Everything else follows from that. If, and only if, I can secure a source of “adult money”, then I will get better. Really, this is a special case of the general reality that life in America is intentionally miserable if you have no money.
I have an engineering degree so I should be able to get a job before the end of the year, but I’ve applied for about 100 jobs and only gotten two interviews.
After I get a job and move into a sustainable career path, I’ll consider talking to a therapist about my medications.
In fact I do, antidepressants. They don’t work as well as they used to.
No I’ll be honest I think SSRIs suck. But I wonder if a mood stabilizer might help you.

Sure that all makes sense. But Prozac I will point out is really old school and there’s better stuff out there.
Good to know. Thank you for reaching out to me :)
