Three questions: What medication did you take? How long did you take it? And when it didn't help, did your doctor try increasing the dose and/or trying you on a different type of antidepressant?

I think you should make an appointment with a psychiatrist today -- whenever "today" is that you read this. I know you tried medication and it didn't work, but that doesn't mean medication can't work for you. You may have gotten the wrong type for your type of depression. Or maybe you just needed a higher dose -- the doses that different people people need vary, and the "starter" dose is often low. A psychiatrist should work with you to figure out what you need. If your old one didn't, find a new one.

Either way: Make the appointment. It could save your life.
I CAN"T AFFORD TO GO TO THE DOCTOR AND I HAVE NO SUPPORT
