No, there is no point in my case. My issues aren't psychological.

Totally onboard with the I'm on medication and taking therapy so no-one can blame me for not trying. Neither make a huge difference otherwise I wouldn't be here... if anything does actually work do share

All right, lamotrigine and trazodone. Let's see what they do.
Lamictal in the morning and trazodone at night have me feeling kind of numb. Which is good? The intense anxiety pain is diminished. I think I'm too depressed to do anything but then I'm...not. Also trazodone has me sleeping without my nightly weed puff, which is probably good.

Tried therapy and meds a decade ago. Therapy didn't help and my antidepressant gave me a horrible stomach ache every time. I'm going to seek help though.

I've been in therapy and on meds for 20+ years, and I'm nowhere close to being better. I'm a lost fucking cause.

Did psycology didnt work, psychiatrist thought I was not mentally unstable enough for psychiatric care after. I mean its hard for them to jnow what to do since my issue is living with uncureable contagious disease and worries about that while otherwise being completely mentally stable.
