I'm tired of people telling me I'm smart or clever. That I'm good at this and good at that. If I was these things I wouldn't have spent the last 12+ years of my life failing. I'm tired of trying to be what everyone else thinks I can be. Problem is I have no passion or drive for anything in life so I don't really want to do anything. I like spending money...lol...if only I was born a billionaire. I have somehow made my own life to difficult for me to handle. Youtube and porn are pretty much my whole life. I'm somehow still managing to do some very easy casual work but sometimes this is a serious struggle as dealing with people is taxing. I'm sorry to anyone who reads this as I imagine it's rather depressing. Since being on meds I didn't think I could feel this way again...but here I am. Hopeless...
Hi @jimothy333. So glad you wrote in. Welcome. How long have you been taking the medication and for what? Anxiety? Depression? . Sometimes it takes a while for a medication to work. I find talking therapy helpful to me. MI doesn't discriminate. Intelligence doesn't matter in the end. It affects all of us. Hopefully others will join your conversation and have some insight into your needs.

Re: I'm tired....
Heya,
Thanks for the reply. I've been on my current meds since 2009 and initially they seemed to make a big difference. I am seeing a new psychiatrist to review my meds, but its slow going. I guess I need to talk to someone again. I spoke with a psychologist for over 3 years, and in the end we both agreed there was nothing more we could achieve. Although that was before I was on my current meds though. What really annoys me as well is that I have so many people in my life that I love and yet it doesn't seem to make a difference. Sorry I'm kinda typing all sorts of stuff.

Might be time to see a new psychologist @jimothy333. Maybe one who specialises in addictions to help with youtube and porn. Glad you are going to get a medication review with your psychiatrist. Sometimes meds stop working effectively and the body needs a change

Re: I'm tired....
Maybe you are unchallenged @jimothy333. It's all good & well people that love you by propping you up with positives isn't it? You sound unfulfilled maybe? I sure don't want to say anything that hurts, I know depression can be hard to find anything enjoyable. I think for me it's being stuck. And I can't see escape. A new psychologist sounds great. I've recently had to learn caring less of what others say about who I am through a hard knock. Deep down theirs a you. Be kind, gentle..truth will unfold for you.😊

Re: I'm tired....
Sounds like you need to just believe in urself more. So what if u find people taxing... most people who work in jobs that deal with people constantly will feel the same. U arent alone. There's nothing wrong with you! Focus on your strengths. Know yourself as a person and what kind of things you enjoy workwise. If u know that the right job is out there for you... just be persistant in finding it. Be realistic. Most people r tired with life too. Be proactive not reactive. You need to MAKE things happen. Nothing will change if u dont change. As far as the porn and u tube goes so what. Nothing wrong with that. Obviously you're just bored and passing time. Porn is an excellent way to pass time! If u feel like ur doing it too much just find a new hobby. Simple. Dont make it hard for urself... just be more proactive
