Hi, Lamdage.
> I just don't have the desire to try everything and I am doing pretty okay. If you put this relentless energy into sports instead of medication, you WILL get results. This attitude towards meds here strikes me as kind of delusional
I can understand how one can come to feel that way. Certainly, feelings of futility can arise from repeated failure. I'm sure there were plenty of people who thought Wilbur and Orville Wright were delusional.
I'm glad that you are doing pretty okay. I have had a very rough time over the last 11 months. I have been taking Trintellix for about 8 weeks. There have been glimpses of improvement here and there. They were mild, but unmistakable. I am trying to remain optimistic, but feelings of hopelessness are invading. It has been too hard for too long. I guess I am fortunate that I had a few magical remissions as a result of drug treatment. They were enough to convince me that it is not delusional to believe that biological treatment can be effective for some types of depression.
