Dear Athena,
Zoloft worked like an absolute charm for me, after a ton of trial and error. But, I also coupled therapy with the meds.
You mentioned "something you can depend on," and I'd like to know where you can TRULY find that in this world, outside of basics, such as the earth turning on its axis. Ultimately, it comes down to depending on me since it is my life. That brings me to the most frustrating part of the depression for me. I failed me. After four decades of successes and failures, losses, grief, joys, being able to work through problems, always depending on my mind, my own mind turned against me and threw me into the darkest abyss. I still haven't come to terms with that betrayal.
Crawling out of the hole of hell required meds and therapy. I don't believe either one alone would've worked. So, your question is a good one. The answers and solutions are within me; providing my brain so that its chemistry is property balanced and therapy to deal with crucial issues that negatively impact my life.
