You might benefit from this book “The Happiness Trap”. It’s a how to book on applying acceptance and commitment therapy, one of the only forms of cognitive behavioral therapy actually backed by scientific research. No therapist needed.
I think the concepts in that book could be useful for most people but seem highly applicable to your situation.
I would advise you to try other things before resorting to anti depressants. Anti depressants can work for some people but they can also cause major problems. A lot of people are on this sub because anti depressants ruined their ability to feel pleasure.
When I warn about anti depressants here I’m referring to SSRI medications which are the most commonly prescribed type. If you have a doctor who will prescribe other types (maoi, tricyclic, or atypical types) there seems to be less risk of really bad side effects.
Working on the basics can also help a lot even though it’s not usually what you feel like doing when depressed. Exercise, quality sleep, and good diet help a lot.
Meditation is also very helpful. I recommend the app “Waking Up” as a good no woo no religion straightforward guide.
I felt as if I had been born again and became more on life...
wish you all thhe best.
a practical plan .
Just started this product this week. I definitely notice a slight improvement in overall mood and sharpness.
I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Carex-Day-Light-Classic-Bright-Therapy/dp/B00PCN4UVU/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1NO9VBH0UL115
About 30 minutes in the morning around 7:00 AM. Then about an hour before bed I wear blue light-blocking glasses.
Yeah, SAD light. I now also cut all blue light in the evening and use a red light bulb. This is how I recovered. I have this one: Light Lamp, UV-Free LEDs, RF Remote Control with 3 Adjustable Light Temperatures and 5 Brightness Levels & Stepless Dimmer, Time Setting and Memory Function, 10,000 lux Intensity https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DK7MG2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_PC1HBE9QQRX4BF7KX9WM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I have this one. It’s not too quality but it worked. Light Lamp, UV-Free LEDs, RF Remote Control with 3 Adjustable Light Temperatures and 5 Brightness Levels & Stepless Dimmer, Time Setting and Memory Function, 10,000 lux Intensity https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DK7MG2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_0KSNS4F1YWFDMP1JG630?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Sounds a lot like a dopamine imbalance. I had my own struggles and still am struggling but does seem to be getting better… my issues started as a result of years of boozing and taking adderall. It took a long time to rebound once I quit and still don’t feel 100% but then again my perception of 100% is under the guise of alcohol and adderall use so I will probably never reach that level again unless of course I drank or popes an adderall…
Check out this book. The Molecule of More: How a Single Chemical in Your Brain Drives Love, Sex, and Creativity--and Will Determine the Fate of the Human Race https://www.amazon.com/dp/1948836580/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_G66EGP5579ZYSE4D4TA2
Also research the Microbiom and I don’t mean just take probiotics. I have been learning a lot about how to make your own yogurt from good probiotics supplements to give you massive amounts rather than the mostly ineffective supplements.
I also have found a lot of good information from “The Ultimate Health Podcast” https://pca.st/podcast/a7a0c9c0-26ba-0132-b87b-5f4c86fd3263 He has a lot of really interesting guests on that discuss a wide range of health topics. Take care and I hope you start to gain some relief.
This book has been God as well. I’ve been reading this side by side. The Misunderstood God: The Lies Religion Tells About God https://www.amazon.com/dp/1935170058/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_QTY43C4FQNM04V5K6JWR
That’s how religion often is. A lot of ups and downs, religion is a huge stumbling block to a personal relationship with Christ which as things are unveiled then you will go higher and higher up and let go of the condemnation of the church and their toxic accusations that keep one stuck in bondage. Jesus came to set us free. Jesus depised the religious figures in his day because they Loved to create stumbling blocks for the true believers
The End of Me: Where Real Life in the Upside-Down Ways of Jesus Begins https://www.amazon.com/dp/1434707075/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_X7YWYR9N3986T838MN9B
Have you looked at thyroid antibodies or tested for mold in your house?
For me the core issue was a thyroid issue which I couldn’t find until they tested antibodies and also a bad mold issue. It’s only $10 to test for the mold and it’s really bad at my place

i can relate to this OP, i suggest you try some TTFD, its a very bio available form of vitamin b1, you can get it on amazon https://www.amazon.com/Objective-Nutrients-Thiamax-Thiamine-Capsules/dp/B0898T6NX3
for me taking it felt like i was sitting in a dim lit room and someone turned the lights on, ive actually started cleaning my apartment for the first time in months.
I've been taking L-methylfolate in the prescription form - Deplin, for about 5 years. When I didn't have a psychiatrist for a while, I got it off Amazon at the same dose (I checked with a pharmacist who said this seemed like an equivalent for the prescription), but it was a lot more expensive than it is as a prescription covered by insurance. I haven't really noticed an effect from most meds, but I did feel an energy and mood drop when I discontinued this for a while.
Sometimes caused by leaky gut, body doesn’t absorb nutrition well. Also could be tense muscles along the spine and neck, a deep tissue massage helps or YouTube neck stretches. For the stomach issue take these probiotic
