I feel stuck. I'm not getting worse (a good thing) but I'm not getting better. I feel like this has been going on for a while now. Its very frustrating. I'm not suicidally depressed but I still don't shower regularly, I have no energy or motivation, I'm irritable, etc., all signs of depression right? What the fuck!

It\'s a horrible club to be in. Welcome. I am sorry you\'re stuck feeling so poorly. Has therapy been going well? Maybe some headway could be made there? I\'m sorry, I\'m grasping at straws, I have no idea what might or might not help, but I hear you, and I see you. sending you love & hugs dear friend
Believe me I know how you feel as well, I seriously recommend looking into an MAOI. I\'m currently on 20mg of Parnate and OH MY GOD, a literal life-save, no exaggeration. I tried to kill myself this past March and that\'s when my psychiatrist FINALLY switched me over, SSRIs and SNRIs may work for some people but not for me. There are some pretty serious food and drug interactions BUT it is absolutely worth it, no one should feel like this and hopefully you won\'t have to for much longer. Good luck!! And please don\'t hesitate to message me if you have any questions! XXXX
Gosh I cannot remember the last time I could pinpoint my feelings. It seems like the last time was when I was psychotic but even then it passed and a day later I was back on my feet and going going going. I know the feeling you\'re having all too well. Yesterday, my hubby had the day off, so we binge watched Netflix ALL DAY and ordered Chinese food. It was a good day (I ate too much, go figure!).
But it doesn\'t help that I hadn\'t showered in three days, I was still wearing my same PJs, I was curled up on the couch in a ball in the dark....am I depressed? Kind of. Kind of not. I hate feeling this way -- am I getting close to what you\'re feeling? I hope so. And I hope it goes away soon! Can\'t stand it! Hugs to you, Pagan. xoxo
I\'m sorry youre feeling stuck, Pagan. I\'m feeling very frustrated with work-related issues and trying very hard to rise about the BS, but it\'s weighed me down and I feel irritable. Is everything going okay at work for you? I know when work bogs me down it seems to carry into other areas of my headspace too. I wish I could figure out a way to stop that. Anyway, I digress. Sending ((((hugs))))
I too know that feeling of being stuck.. and it stinks.... got to somehow find some movement to propel us forward... maybe something you can discuss with your therapist?
I am pleased to hear you are not suicidally depressed.... but the lack of motivation and energy well :((
hang in tight Pagan.... hopefully you will find some momentum soon
(((hugs)))
