Nothing works, im still a sad person :(

[detpiston7788]

I been on anti-depressants since july and been in thearpy for like 1 month and a half. So far no sucess. Granted, i dont have panic attacks as much.. Maybe once a day if that, and im on benzos only if needed. Luckly im at the point where i dont have to take ativan everyday, so im not addicted. But, im still sad and depressed all the time. I guess im still scared of people and nothing works. Im especisally scared of women.. I still feel like the ugliest piece of garbage out there... I just feel it cause i never get approached and i have zero sucess on dating websites. I want to be happy, i really do. But nothing works.. Im still my old self. I even quit drinking for a few months, i used to drink every day the past 7 years... But improved this year, unfortunatly.. The past month, im back to drinking once or twice a week.. Im thinking about giving up the thearapist and maybe stopping meds all together..To tell you the truth, the only way for me to be happy and get ready for this... is to be an extreamly attractive guy.. If i can look so good and have women hitting on me left and right, i would be so happy.. I just need good looks.. I know it sounds silly but i just wanted to get this off my chest... Right now im sippin on wine.. i know its bad but im not a happy person..

Whodunnit dude you're a jerk off. Yah stop putting words into my mouth I did not say it was the "answer" but if you read my daym post I said my mood has picked up with SamE, which it has.  If you had any intelligence into the matter at all you would know SamE has been studied extensively for its use for depression and has been found to be as effective as anti depressants.  And yes my depression has been agonizing and who the hell are you to tell me I do not know how it feels.  And since you are such a jerk off I will even put the definition of agony on here.  Agony-The suffering of intense physical or mental pain.  And I have no vested interest in SamE except for the fact that it has lessened my symptoms of depression which is priceless to me.  My point to detpiston7788 is to not give up.  If you keep trying you might find that one thing that makes you feel better and all your efforts will be worth it then.  i didn't think anything would help me zoloft didn't, prozac didn't, celexa didn't.  But I didn't give up, because the only other option would be to stay stuck with the agonizing pain.  
  And as far as internet dating is concerned you must be the crazy one because that is how a good number of people meet now-a-days.  I know of many people who are now happily married because they met someone on a dating website.  The guy says he is depressed all the time and you say he is doing fine.  What are you his shrink?  If you're gonna make yourself sound like that big of an idiot you should just keep your keyboard unplugged.

You need to deal with your drinking issues FIRST. Don't stop or change your anti-depressants as of yet; if it doesn't start working at least somwhat in six months, ask your doctor to change them to something else. I don't know which ones your taking, so... About women, you're attitude is what is keeping you from dating! You want to be "given" something and do nothing. Attractiveness comes from your energy, what you put out there, not from some elusive fantasy of being hit on. Grow up. Good luck. Feel free to ask for advice on to approach women if that would occur to you.

If "good looks" is what you imagine it takes (and yes, I agree, there are something as "good looks" that attract most people, even though lots of people would disagree out of holyness, make an appointment with a plastic surgeon or something, maybe spend the money you now spend on booze on that... (hope you know I meant spend the money on something worthwhile instead of thinking "good looks" will save you. I have what could be called quite good looks and I have ****** up every important relationship in my life... Well not really, but you get the drift!).

So you're telling us Sam E is the answer to "agonising" depression. First time I've ever heard someone use that term which makes me think you do not know how it feels at all. To say Sam E has helped that depth of problem I find totally impossible to believe too. Sorry, it all sounds like a sales pitch else why would you say it isn't?

Hi,

There/s not a lot to say when you give up so quickly on treatment.

You've been srinking for 7 years but expect 3 months of meds and 1 month of talk to fix everything? Really? Bow back to drinking. Well, enjoy OK.

If you want to get serious aboyut feeling better drop the alcohol, go back to treatment and do what the doc advises. And don't expect miracles. DOcs ans rtherapy ain't gonna help you at all if you just sit there complaining it isn'r working. You have to do the work, the thinking, the talk, You.

As for internet dating. Are you crazy? It's a sure fire way to attract lunarics or get ripped off but if that's your need then do that too.

To me it sounds like you are lokking for the worst way to deal with things and in that regard? You're doing fine.

Hey man i also suffer from anxiety and depression and a fear of people.  I would say keep trying what choice do you have just to give up?  I have had agonizing depression my mood has picked up with the supplement of SamE.  Also I don't think woman hitting on you will solve all your problems.  Good luck If you want women to hit on you sign up for the website dating4disabled.com I have tons of women hitting on me there and it's free to email and im.  This is not a sales pitch, just the truth
