  • I think this is good advice but I’d say do it after doing some therapy that has helped. Of course everyone experience is different. For me, I was in a black multi year depression, did a big move to try to reset things, and basically just fell in my face luckily I got better after doing some therapy and making another big move.

    above I mentioned my experience with therapy & medication. I did some therapy that got me unstuck then scraped together money for a plane ticket to teach English in China for a year. That was a great reset and then when I came back to the states I was able to do more therapy and really get my shit together. (Then I went back to China lol)


  • First, I’m sorry you’re having to deal with that. I know how hard it feels to have your life be unenjoyable and bleak.

    I tried meds and the did fuck all other than making me dizzy.

    I eventually hit a sort of rock bottom and also almost simultaneously found a therapist and therapy situation that worked for me. Luckily enough it was at my university’s mental health center. CBT methodology worked really well and I still use some of the stuff I learned now, more than 10 years later. If I were to go back to therapy I’d probably look for someone who did DBT. Lots of good evidence it works well for depression.
