warning: heavy shit ahead.
basically my datemate broke up with me. not because anything happened, just because they think they might be aromantic, and just werent that into me i guess. basically ive been feeling shitty and useless for maybe a year now (though this was alleviated by me being in a relationship kinda), and my depression meds just dont work. i dont know what im on rn, but ive been on a couple things before, (prozac, and two other meds that i dont know the name of, one making me unable to walk for a few days bc the muscles in my legs were messed up and the other making me lactate, thus i was taken off of em) none of which worked. should i talk to my doc 'bout getting different meds? i'm just not myself anymore. nothing makes me happy, not even my extensive library of video games in steam.

this prolly aint the place to ask for advice bout this, but frankly i dunno where else to go, man.

You should talk to them about the effects current one has. Also: depression does not goes away with meds only, therapy (as in psychotherapy) is also needed; if you don't have a therapist yet, you should def look for one asap.

ive been to therapists, i don't like em. they feel patronizing.

With therapists, styles can vary quite a bit. Might take some shopping around.

That. Also,

I don't know how it is wherever you are, but if the therapist is patronizing, they've really chosen the wrong job.
