Please, don't beat yourself up—you’ll only end up struggling for years if you do! Seriously, go see a doctor. They can likely get you a prescription to help ease the burden, and trust me, it isn't something to fear. You just need that initial spark to get moving again. Your current environment isn't exactly providing the support you need, so you aren't going to just "snap out of it" on your own. There are antidepressants out there designed with minimal side effects, which could give you the mental fortitude required to finally untangle all those knots life has tied in your path. And remember—you're always in control! You can stop taking them or switch to a different option at any time, provided you coordinate with your physician. Go on, take that first step!
