In reply to Dysthymic, kinda. What else can I try?, posted by Nagash on October 7, 2004, at 12:42:44
I'm having the same symptoms. General dysthymic and some social anxiety issues that I've had since childhood. I can relate to the loss of interest in everything and the drop in sex drive and the "why bother" view on even trying to date. Suicidal thoughts too, but I'm fighting those since suicide really really doesn't make any sense except in the middle of depression when my thoughts are all distorted. I'm 27 and it's been getting progressively worse for the last two years. I've finally decided to seek treatment. If I have any success with this I'll let you know. Keep fighting. I get by with the hope that things will get better. I'm guessing that anyone who has ever recovered from this kind of thing would tell you that the depression distorts your view on your situation and that help will come with time if you can be patient.
