Why do you seem to think doctors have some magic pill that would save you but they are hiding it? It is a brain issue dude. Sorry to tell you but that's a wrap buddy.

Then why do my MRIs "look fine"?

The secret to depression is an environment change.

Unfortunately, most of the others cannot, will not, or will disavow it.

And the self will not seek help in USA do to stupid shit. It happened to my gfs sister. Because of an abusive husband.

They said 1 year....it is now *4* years.

Her court date is next year.

I've moved across the country, have a new job, I've done about all the environment change you can.

It's because I'm lonely af and full of regret and self hate that I'm depressed.

Its pretty common for people with depression to have memory problems. You probably wont find any answers through bloodwork.

Id suggest keeping a journal. Even if you dont write very much, some bullet points or a sentence or two about your day will help you keep track of your life. Also make sure to get a decent sleep every night. Sleep is when your brain kind of reorganizes itself and makes sense of what happened during the day, and if you arent sleeping well, the processes involved in memory formation and retention are affected.

The long-term fix though is treating your depression. Its good that youre trying to get help from your doctors. Sorry they arent really hearing you. Keep trying - its worth it, and you will feel better one day once youre finally able to connect with the right people and treatments. Look up psychiatrists and psychologists in your area, phone a few, and ask their offices directly about getting an appointment if your primary care doctor isnt taking initiative to refer you to anyone. If youre already seeing someone for your mental health and youre not seeing improvement, switch doctors. Switch medicines. Try a different type of therapy. You can overcome this eventually.

Thanks. I do try for good sleep, it was easier when I worked from home and wasn't 9 to 5. I have sleep apnea so that doesn't help either.

Finally I've been talking with psychologists for years, so unfortunately while I won't give up, I don't have tons of hope my depression will go away any time soon.

Could it be the effect of a traumatic event? Ive thought about this too. Like Ive blocked out a whole year of dorming with this guy in college because it was so cringe >_>

but sorry to hear that, TC

It's possible, but I think it nearly holds true for most of the past 10 years.

Even this last year which was relatively compared to all my miserable years feels mostly "blocked out".

I might be so far gone I'm perpetually traumatized.

Here's how bad it is:

In Aug 2018-2019, I lived in a 3 bedroom apartment, it was me and my other friend Alex. I legitimately don't recall if there ever was a third person who lived there and if so, how long they lived there.

A year of my life, I can't recall if I had a 3rd roommate or not. It would seem odd if I didn't, but I can't for the life of me recall anybody.

I plead with doctors for help and they basically ignore me.

Ditto for my severe depression issues, nobody cares no matter how clearly you make the point you need help...

"um, let's do some blood work and we'll check in, in a month." is what you pay people a few hundred dollars to hear, and that's about it.

It's decent advice, but anytime I'm completely isolated with my issues/grief it seems to make things worse. The idea that the only safe space for me to express my issues is to myself in silence in a place nobody will ever see IMO validates the idea that I'm beyond hope.

it's not so much that I care about sex, it's that going long enough without physical intimacy messes with your head.

But I feel like anybody I talk to about it is going to be like "wtf you have a messed up head."

I already had a friend upset with me when I opened up. I was in the wrong in using my friend as a therapist, but still idk who I can possibly talk to about my issues in that realm.

The issue is that I'm overweight and so it isn't possible for people to like me in my current state. And I don't want to harass or bother people unless it becomes possible they could actually want to date me.

Plus I've heard horror stories about dating apps, so I can't imagine an overweight guy having anything but a bad time on there.

My first priority is to never be a creep, my second priority is to get a date. So long as I'm fat enough, you really can't flirt or hit on girls at all without risking violating rule 1.

I really really wish I could date though, I'm lonely af.

I had somebody today kinda sharing to me about how their life was hard, and they said "yeah, I went through all of high school thinking nobody could like me because I was overweight, so I didn't date or anything in hs." And clearly this line is a big sympathy line in their mind.

I forgive them, it's how a lot of people feel these days. That there are a bunch of people saying some shitty things out there, and it would just be nice and easier to just wish they didn't have the right or ability to say those things.

But as many civil rights leaders and others have observed, such an approach is very short-sighted, and very often hurts so many more than it protects.

I was modded for defending somebody's right to free speech and I was moderated because they said by doing so I was defending what the person said.

After making my case about how free speech as an ideal is super crucial for all positive social change, the mods overturned the moderation.

I was really expecting them not to overturn it, for so many people unfortunately they think if you are defending somebody's right to speak you are defending what they are saying. I'm glad to be proven wrong here.

requesting clarification of the term "happy"

It's like when you were 15 and played any video game, or when you were a kid and just smiled waking up in the morning some days excited for school or life or anything.

Waking up and being excited about anything, wanting to get up in the morning because there was something you wanted to do ever.

Wanting or hoping for anything and not being crushed by the knowledge that such hopes are a cruel delusion.

Not being so hurt that you now miss the delusion.

Happy overall or happy moments?

I have happy moments all the time. But overall I gotta do some work.

I had a very bad few years in my 20s where I'd really relate tho. Every laugh was forced and every conversation was work. Not cool. BUT, it wasn't forever no matter how much it wanted to convince me it was. So stay in there and try to focus on the day by day. Fake a more happy attitude and one day it might click back into place. But also, come back to earth and talk out your problems when you need too.

For me it has been a growing forever. I wish I had more people I could talk to, I only get my therapist once every two weeks and that's way too little.

I wish people in the past wouldn't have told me to just "tough it out, it will get better" because I clung to that hope, and I did tough it outand when things only got much worse I couldn't go back and do anything different.

I have so much wasted life trying and waiting for the storm to pass, but it has only grown.
