Been diagnosed as depressed since Feb. I was miserable, didn't want to leave my house, laid in the dark most off days, taking sleeping pills to pass the days by (1 full year since my mom passed)
Been going to therapy EVERY single week since Feb as well as antidepressants (15MG Lexapro - thank goodness for insurance)
By no means am I happy but I'm not certainly nowhere close to rock bottom. I feel close to the content mentally if that makes sense
Which leads me to my thoughts now. Of course I want to overreact and stop doing what I been doing because I think I'm cured
but I'm afraid if I stop, I'll revert back to my really down days and I won't be able to come back from it this time.

I dont know what really makes me happy anymore. My therapist always asks me what my interests are or what i want to do once my trial is done but i can never answer that question. Nothing appeals to me anymore. I dont even watch sports anymore. All i do is workout, read books, listen to music and browse the web.

Have you talked to your therapist about this? Whatever you do, don't stop cold turkey.

I'm with you on a lot of those things. I feel similar.
Best advice I can give u is stick it out with your job until you find a new one. Worry about girl situation after you get your finances settled. As far as schools, Google student loan forgiveness programs that are legit

I finally saw a psychiatrist and was diagnosed with general anxiety disorder and was prescribed Zoloft. Has anyone here ever taken it? I'm kind of apprehensive because I heard it can cause sexual dysfunction.

I was prescribed Zoloft 50mg for a month or 3 for clinical depression.
I experienced no side effects whatsoever. When I got better I discontinued it without any issues.

Thanks for the response my dude. How did it make you feel? Did it help with your anxiety? I'm a bit nervous to take it because I don't like the side effects that I've read about.

The first 1-2 weeks it made me very noticeably energetic, almost like I'd just taken a load of caffeine. That's the only thing I really noticed aside from feeling less depressed as time went on. The energetic effect went away after about 2 weeks.
I don't really have anxiety so I'm not sure how well it works for anxiety.

funny I would stumble across this thread, I've been depressed about a serious injury incurred while working out. I was in constant pain for almost a full year. During that year it forced me to be home more often, that had a serious effect on my mental health. I would have reflective thoughts on my past which would lead me to anxiety, and anxiety has lead me to being paranoid constantly creating scenarios in my head of my own demise. Recently though, I am hardly in pain some days I don't feel it at all, and I've got a new job. There are things in my life that still troubles me however, I have faith things will get better for me. I admit I'm also very pessimistic but I'm taking things day by day and trying to gradually become a new and enlightened man. Keep your head up NT.

Always try excercise before pills, if you can't run, bike, stationary

has anybody tried adding no fap to your fight? It really can be powerful and help with depression, anxiety, etc.

unless someone is using excessive amounts of porn as a coping mechanism to depression and anxiety, i fail to see the correlation...
