I really empathize with your plight and I'm sure we all wish that we could do something for you.
I don't really know anything about the drugs part of this, but is this drug not available in Hong Kong for example? Or Singapore?
I realize that these are probably stupid questions and you would certainly have done something about it if it was available there.
SE Asia has a 'special' place in my heart/mind as that's where I fell apart myself. Make sure that you are eating enough-- another stupid
piece of advice, sorry. I know that when one is depressed that's when you sometimes overlook the obvious things, or have no interest as you say in the day to day things.
But maybe what you need to do is treat the next two weeks as a type of training period and prepare yourself physically for the rigors of your flight. Pay particular attention
to eating and drinking well. If it's hard to change sheets on your bed, then force yourself to do it everyday. If you're not getting out except for work, then make a point of doing a few things-- maybe
pick up some gifts for family and friends. They don't have to be anything special, just do something for others. I really feel stupid writing such things because this is the type of advice
I often receive(d) in the midst of my depression and I would be resentful. I know that just a month ago or so I was finding it difficult even to turn over from one side to the other in my bed,let alone make the damn thing.
So I think that I know how/what you feel and I also know that we can get beyond it. I wish you all the best and hope that you'll continue to post and let us know of your progress. <<<<And note that word progress!
