There was a time before meds that I lost the ability to keep a job or look for one. I was in a severe vegetative depression and my anti-med therapist sent me to my doctor to get an evaluation to start medication. I had fought meds for about ten years.
Now I have a full-time 40 hour a week job. I'm currently seeking a transfer because I'll be starting an internship as well as being a full-time grad student. There is the possibility that I could be a social worker in a couple of months at with my current employer as a trainee earning hours toward my license.
I attribute this to good treatment and my willingness to take my medicine.
Keep at it. It's been a long and difficult road. Somehow I've found medication and therapy that works for me. I hope you find what works for you.
Blessings,
Simcha
