I've had periods of depression my entire life and am currently on meds and art therapy. In the past I've done general counselling and CBT. I had a couple of weeks off therapy over Easter and really dreaded going back today, mainly because I find it a bit of a waste of time. On paper I've had a pretty good life and have no terrible traumatic experiences to deal with, so I find myself talking about stuff that annoys me a bit or venting about something half-witted DH has done when 99% of the time our relationship is good.
I'm sick of feeling so low for no apparent reason. I feel like I have received terribly sad news but can't remember what it is. I don't think talking therapies work for me as I don't know what I'm meant to be talking about, there's nothing that really bothers me.
I'm becoming increasingly convinced that my problems are physical in some way; that I have wonky brain chemistry or some other hormone/chemical problem. The meds take the edge off it a bit but don't stop it entirely. Do I just have to keep weaning on and off different ADs until I find one that works? Or is there some kind of testing or scans they might narrow down the field a bit? Is there any other treatment options I can look in to?
Thanks
