Then why not try something else?

Try what? What is it that so great that I should try? and even when I pick something to try, what value am I going to get out of it...i.e is it going to be worth me even trying in the first place.

I hate the fact I worked hard and school and got good job that I work hard at just to work hard until Im in the grave.

Stop work, backpack around the world, live in a commune, give rather than expect to recieve, get a motorhome and do what you feel like doing and do odd jbs to pay your way, become a Buddhist monk, the list is endless.  Just because you worked hard to do something doesnt mean you have to keep doing it

I agree with you, Joker, and I feel exactly the same.  I have nothing to look forward to, no job to go back to because everyone hates me (but they are w******s anyway!), I am fed up with grinding away and suicide is a pleasant though at times.  I feel so damn angry at times and have to stay medicated all day and night.

I have a mortgage that I cant get out of because its in negative equity and Im tied to it for the next 20 years. So I cant see how I can fund backpacking around the world, and I dont even like the idea of it.

Life is so boring, same things everyday I dont want to be part of it. I dont want anything, I just want out of here.

A few months back I give away all my books, some clothes, old tv, coffee maker and other house hold items to charity. I feel stupid now.

If you havent already seen your GP I would suggest doing so, if you cant be bothered then you arent interested in helping yourself

I have seen my GP over 10 times already. He has prescribed me 150mg (added 50mg last week) of sertraline.

I have done a CBT course online and have had a 8 week talk therpy course, none of which helped me.

I have also done mindfulness by Jon Kabat Zinn. and got his book.
I wish I knew who to turn to.

Thanks

The only thing I can suggest is to see a different counsellor, I had two that were useless, one that did a little good and the most recent absolutely fantastic and put me on the road to recovery

you need to tell your GP that whatever meds you are getting arent working, if you get no success there change your GP
