I wish I could just go to sleep and dream forever. Or just not wake up.
That's how I feel as well. Nothing matters anymore to me.

maybe try getting off the brain-fry pills
Same happened to me. I had no idea how important friends and connections are. I really shot myself in the foot.

Something weird happens at 25 I feel like.
I spend my life doing things I don't want to do, and I don't know what I do want to do. In every moment I'm either unhappy or temporarily forgetful of my unhappiness due to a video game or tv show. I spend most of my free time lurking and making dumb posts on image boards with the faint hope that some random post will enlighten me or connect me with somebody. It's stupid but this is all I got.

They were worth a shot, at least. I even went through 12 rounds of ECT and that also did nothing.
The fact that there is no easy solution to chronic depression is one of the bitterest pills to swallow. You have to bust your ass and jump through all sorts of hoops just to feel as normal as people who don't have to deal with it at all.

On 20mg of Celexa, really doesn't seem to be helping though. Thought about coming off them but what if I get worse?
