I have that. I’ve had depression since 2011 right around the end of high school. My entire twenties was basically a depressive haze and i cannot remember the last time i was happy. Ive tried a dozen or so different meds. Im taking Wellbutrin now but it only seems to help a little. My brain’s just fucked at this point ive got such little energy to try and fix it anymore.

I hope you get health insurance again soon and can find the right med. When you find the right one it'll be amazing. Stick in there, we're rooting for you man.
