    The thing people often forget about depression meds is that they’re really not meant to be a long term cure for depression. They should be used as an aid so that you can do stuff that does help long term, like therapy and mindfulness.

    I get that therapy is out of some people’s reach, but there’s a lot of research supporting mindfulness as a depression treatment.

      I think this may be hit or miss. I’m in therapy, but the effects are minimal. Then again, I may just be ‘too sick’. I don’t know.

      I think people are trying, and that’s great. But I know I’m losing my battle. It’s just matter of time. Nothing I do changes this.

      Just me though. Good luck to y’all, the world sucks right now.

        There are several different types of therapy, so you might try a different one if you haven’t yet.

        Mental health treatment is often a game of throwing different stuff at the problem until something sticks.
