I’m getting tired of trying things that help for a week and then seem to stop working. I’ve tried changing my routine, forcing myself to exercise, staying busy, and talking to people when I have the energy. Sometimes one of those helps a little, but none of it has made the depression properly lift.
The hardest part is not knowing what to expect. I can have a decent day and think maybe I’m finally improving, then I’m back in the same fog the next morning. It makes it difficult to trust any progress.
I’m thinking about finding a therapist and speaking with a doctor instead of continuing to guess at this on my own. I don’t need some perfect cure overnight. I just want something that actually makes life feel manageable again.
