I've been dealing with a lack of motivation and interest in things since April, and it's starting to become too much. This week, I was not able to complete my assignment in time because of how unmotivated I was. I would just sit in front of my laptop and cry, and then I got completely freaked out because I just couldn't do it. Talked to my psych, she said I was having a "small depression". She recommended some meds: plant-based stuff that has a calming/sedating effect or effexor. I thought the plant based meds would not be appropriate since I don't have a lot of energy, I didn't think a calming med would be very useful. My parents don't want me to go on antidepressants and I'm scared too. Overall I'm able to lead a normal life, I still have good grades, but I don't really feel like myself anymore. I have good days, but my bad days are bad, and I think the constant mood drops are making it even worse.

It's exhausting.

Talking things out with someone is good, it helps me out a lot. Also meds are good , my mom would say as long as there is something out there that makes you feel good, take it. There is nothing wrong with meds, as long as it helps. Taking walks is good, my psychiatrist told me to walk around for a while and to get fresh air, not to stay inside a room with no windows. Also just because you start taking meds doesn't mean you'll have to take them for the rest of your life ^^, if you ever need anyone I am here if you would like to talk.

I can honestly relate. That's about all I can say though. I just am used to going with the flow now that I don't even know any better.

Have you talked to your psych again?
I was on anti-depressants for many years and I sometimes struggled a lot with being on them (feeling like I should be able to live without them), but in the end they are there to help you. If the ones you are taking right now are nor helping, I'd talk to your psych again and ask for something different. It's important to find some that work for you and that keep your mood balanced.
If you need to talk, feel free to send me a PM.
