Close Depression
Type: Clinical (Major) Depression

I'm a 40-year-old virgin. I'm fat and ugly and have no prospects for altering that status. I am a database programmer except for the past two years when I haven't been able to find a job. I occasionally write stories (horror or sci-fi usually, depends on the story that forms in my head).

Treatments

Prozac Somewhat Helpful

I was on this for about four years, three of those in conjunction with Wellbutrin. It seemed to help while I was on it (it didn't hurt, anyway). I haven't used it for probably three years now.

Psychotherapy Working / Worked

Did it for five years. Helped. Stopped. Couldn't afford it. I sense a pattern.

Wellbutrin Somewhat Helpful

Was on this with Prozac for three years. Weaned off of them when I moved and couldn't afford the drugs. Went back on Wellbutrin alone in February and stopped in November when I stopped all my medicines because of no money.

Writing Somewhat Helpful

I keep a blog at LiveJournal. I've stopped for now because I feel like I have nothing important to say, that nobody reads what I write, and I'm tired of sounding like a whining baby when I write about my problems. I did "win" NaNoWriMo last month, though, even though I still haven't finished the first draft of that novel.

Close Financial Challenges

I've been unemployed for 3.5 years, I have no prospects, and I declared bankruptcy 4/2009.
