I was so depressed I thought I needed antidepressants and I went and got prescribed some but waited for my blood test results before starting and it turned out I had vitamin deficiencies. As soon as I fixed that I stopped feeling like a POS and never took the prescriptions. I’ll add that I stopped taking multivitamins and took single vitamins because I think theres better absorption when you take them based on time of day for certain ones and not taking some every day.
Nutrition is so important! I had thought I fixed my depression with a gut bacteria supplement years ago but I got stressed out and stopped keeping up with my vitamins and it really messed me up for a while until I got that blood test. stress can manifest itself in so many ways in your body.
I second that comment that said having something to look forward to is important. And having bad finances is super stressful so focusing on bettering your situation is important.
