Ty, have you ever taken an anti-depressant? I don't recall if you've tried them or not...
Normally, I'm pretty adverse to them. I didn't take them because I know that my negative feelings are a matter of circumstance... I know exactly what's making me feel the way I feel. That's when therapy/counselling is probably the best option because you have something to work through. When Dad died, my doctor didn't want to put me on medication. He prescribed it to me anyway, in case I felt I needed it, but I haven't been on them. Problems that are too huge, I think, can't be cured by the drugs.
There is one thing that anti-depressants are great for, however... when you need to be productive. When I was on Effexor last year, I didn't give a shit about my negative emotions and the little things that were bothering me. It was easier to feel happy. And I got a lot of work done. Actually, come to think of it, I was on Effexor the entire time I was doing art shows at school... God, it must have worked wonders, because I was a stoner at the same time. Hahaha. But yeah. I'm debating on taking them now, this semester, because I need to focus.
Anyways... I'm rambling. Just know that it's an option you might want to go for.
