Venting Feeling Terrible After Another Failed Recovery Attempt

[Voidad]

It's been 5 months since I first saw a psychiatrist. I've taken various medications, I even stayed at a psych ward for 5 days... but nothing helped, once more.
Meds never help and I just fail to learn my lesson. We spent so much money on meds again only for none of it to work. They just don't make me feel better, like in any way.
Zero positive changes. Only side-effects... I can't believe all my effort for months were for absolutely nothing again...
I hate that I just don't give up... because I totally should.

I feel your pain.

I've tried, literally dozens of meds. Nothing worked, now I'm starting lithium.

I'm fortunate enough to be able to have free healthcare, but still.

We gotta keep trying. Doesn't matter how many times we fail if we manage to succeed once.
