I've been depressed for almost 3 years now. The severity isn't constant and I do have a good day sometimes but most of the time I feel super unmotivated, energyless, no purpose, just tired. I wake up sad almost every morning and things that used to bring me joy barely work anymore. I'm hopeless and constantly worry too much.

I had a year of therapy when this started. It helped somewhat but after it stopped I noticed myself slipping back. It took a few months but I managed to get therapy again, with another therapist. But no matter what, I remain depressed. I've changed a few things in my life that I thought might have been the cause of the depression, but it only helped a little. I feel slightly better after the therapy sessions or after doing something 'fun' but on other days I just wake up and want to die. (I'm not currently suicidal)

What am I supposed to do? Medication seems more and more appealing but I'm hesitant to ask for it. I'm worried it won't help or that I'll become dependant.

Medication can help a little but don't expect miricles from it .
Im sorry you have been suffering so much for so long , i can totally relate to that .
I haven't had therapy yet , that's my next step . i hope things turn around for us both

I’m sorry
I can’t even take medication (allergies. Nobody wants to know, I bore people)
Which is partly why I am so useless
We are all here to support you

I’m sorry this post is so negative.

Most people here will be happy to listen and support you and are non judgmental.

I’ve found people on this forum to be very friendly and accepting

Love, light and sparkles
