I feel in some ways healthy. I've barely drank any alcohol in 8 years, thinking that if I am not willing to keep myself healthy, then I do not have any right to complain about depression.

But I've not drank any caffeine, no regular alcohol for years, never smoked or did rec drugs, no regular medications. I've even at times given up TV/Video games for years to try to become more zen and meditate and be in the present moment. At times this has helped me, but every so often I wake up and my symptoms are worse. Things that used to make me feel better make me feel worse. Exercise now induces panic attacks in me, so I can barely exercise anymore for relief.

Went to a CBTherapist and a psychologist, they couldn't give me any real answers, and I think it's because I function so well, they don't know what to do with me.

For some reason, orgasm started to make feel like shit after rather than better. It's like there's a problem with my brain turning everything that should be pleasurable and happy into shit. If I try to stimulate myself with music, TV, exercise or basically anything that would normally positively emotionally stimulate me, it just stimulates feelings of depression and anxiety. Stimulation of any kind seems to just trigger depression and anxiety feelings. Like it's the only thing my brain wants me to feel.

I have been able to function fine for years, although recently have been signed off work for the first time in years because these issues are taking their physical toll on me. They're starting to make me physically ill.

No matter how healthy I live I'm deteriorating and I don't know why. I have no trauma that i'm aware of from my past.

For several years I've taken little to no satisfaction from life, even though I've been healthy and functioning ok. It's just a blank space. An almost constant unease and dullness that overshadows everything. I was in my mid 20's when it all started out of nowhere, and I hoped that enough effort would have resolved it all, but it hasn't.

I don't understand. There are people who have taken a lot less care of themselves who are happy. It's one of those issues that there's no explanation for.

I've also had blood tests done to try and rule out dietary issues or anything and no answers. According to the docs I'm fine.

TL;DR - Moderate depression, anxiety, ADHD and possible SZPD have fucked with my life. No professional is helped. I've got a few more things I can try, but if they don't work, my face is eating concrete or a train. A few more medical treatments to help complete a process of elimination, and maybe another psychologist, but that's it.

If these things don't work, then I'm dying, mostly likely by train. Sorry future train driver, but I have no guns or SN in my country, and hanging sounds too difficult and risky.

Jumping or train. I just need to find a good spot to access a train track with a high speed train. I think I will take a bunch of trains to places and monitor the near by environment. I've seen so many videos with high speed trains that are easily accessible.

No, I hate the idea of relying on drugs. I'm willing to try everything but just not meds. If I cannot resolve this naturally, then I'm out.

Anti depressants are effective at treating severe depression which I don't have.

I'm sorry you have to go through this. In my opinion - if you have "moderate depression" bc of external factors this can be treated especially when you can eliminate the potential triggers that lead to depression. If it's related to "genetics" then it's probably a lot harder to find a way to deal with it and it'd need a lot and very professional help and efforts to find a way for you how to cope with it.

My life hasn't often been externally difficult.

If I could trade the internal rot for external issues, I'd take the external issues because they, despite being painful, can be more easily controlled and dealt with, and you can often put them out of your mind.

But the internal rot makes you feel bad regardless of how in order your life is.

I totally concur with internal rot. I know I'm a bad seed, just an evil person in my mind. It's all I think about. I have to ctb soon.

This is relatable

I would consider myself in a similar situation: high functioning, never used substances of any kind, healthy, no trauma, and yet here I am.
Also went the rational path of doing blood tests and trying therapy, but I didn't get much out of it other than some basic tips to work less or socialize more.

I guess our condition fits Thoreau's "quiet desperation", and I hate even complaining about it. This is not me, I don't want to live like this.

Sorry to hear that :/ the hopelessness in all of this is very understandable. Thinking you are back in track only to get the feeling like it is all going to waste again..
I do hope that things work out for you!!

Even mild depression can make existence feel pointless and make getting out if bed hard work.
