    Yeah, I have severe (suicidal) depression and exercise doesn’t do shit for me. Sometimes it makes things worse even.

    The meds have never worked lol

      Don’t have much to add to this conversation, but I really hope things get better for you both.

      I guess I should clarify that they don’t do literally nothing, it’s that neither helps long-term. And yes, same as you, sometimes they have negative effects.
