Depression and all that

LegacyUser · 2014-11-11 03:27:19

So I was re-diagnosed with depression this year and put on anti-depressants. Each time I upped the dose they worked well for a while before going back to normal. I've been on the current dose (pretty high) for 4 months and the last 6 weeks or so have been as bad as I've ever been. This year I finished college, exercised,…

So I was re-diagnosed with depression this year and put on anti-depressants. Each time I upped the dose they worked well for a while before going back to normal. I've been on the current dose (pretty high) for 4 months and the last 6 weeks or so have been as bad as I've ever been.
This year I finished college, exercised, lost weight, stopped drinking and smoking at times and nothing has helped.
The following is basically just a whinge so skipping to the end may be the most useful thing for most people. I'm in my mid-twenties and have never had a girlfriend. I suppose recently the most obvious "issue" for me is rejection. Dating sites are a complete waste of time, to a ridiculous extent. A girl in real life led me on (or at the least used me as a back-up) and then just didn't bother with me when she got something else sorted out.
Applying for jobs isn't the most confidence-boosting task either.

Anyway, long-story short, I'm on a medical card and was wondering if anyone has experience with getting to see counselors or psychiatrists? I can't afford to pay but it's starting to feel like something's got to give. I'm kinda beyond the point of panic attacks, I've been sat here for the last few hours not so much struggling to breathe as struggling to be bothered to breathe. Starting to get a bit emo but there ya go.
