Hi and welcome. My heart goes out to you, it sounds like you are going through a lot of internal suffering, life stressors, and aren't getting great results from treatment. I can really relate to the non-stop critical thoughts. That is one of my main symptoms when I am depressed. I also hate the confusion about whether it's just "laziness" when a person is having trouble functioning. I even accuse myself of this, and don't always realize I am having symptoms of depression.
I wish I had answers for you. I think it's great that you recognize that you are having symptoms, and that you're reaching out, and that you're trying different medications. It's hard to accept the endless merry-go-round of treatment, but it seems at this point in time that's the state of the art for psychiatric treatment. Hopefully you will be able to get a combo that will keep your brain somewhere close to functional.
What's your next step for your treatment?
