meds can help with general shitty feelings though. i've been on seroxat for... one and a half years now i think. and while prozac and dosulepin (a tricyclic anti-dep) didn't work for me, i think this has really helped. i still feel shitty, but that's mostly because of realistic observations rather than unrealisticly bad views of myself. it#s helped me get out of the house more, which i try to do as often as i can to keep me fromfalling back into depression. it's difficult but i dunno if i'd manage it as much without the meds. they're also helped with my anxiety which makes it easier to do things that make u feel better
what i mean is, while meds can't directly fix the problem, if u find the right ones, they can definitely help u with things that might be obstructing any progress you'd otherwise make. they can help u help yourself if you know what i mean
