Look at in another light. Your shrink doesn't know what else to do with you? I know it's hard to hear her say right now, but she is doing you a favor. She is (rightly) admitting that your problems are not in her area of expertise.
So, why couldn't she help? Trying to understand that might help when you look for the next doctor.
It might also help if you let us know what your psychiatrist did try before quitting.
My guess is everyone in babble is in the same boat. If a bit of prozac "cured" us, we wouldn't need to look for validation from others that understand. I mean, I'm living what some would call the "suburban dream" but I have depression.
Desparate isn't nuts. It's pretty common around here.
30 isn't old - by a long shot. I finished college (finally) when I was 36 and went on to a career that led me to travel all over the world, including places that I loved, but wouldn't have thought of spending money to see. And made some good friends across the pond(s) that I still keep in touch with. So - point is - there is still LOTS of time to do some very cool things.
