When I was 18 I left college and spent all day at home with depression. I hoped that I would find a med that would give me back my life.
Now I realise that meds probably only played a small part in my recovery. It is very difficult not to be depressed when you spend all day watching TV. I only recovered from the depression when I went back to college. Only then did my life have meaning again. Medication alone is rarely enough to make a person happy, it is only an adjunct. You will have to find other ways to give your life meaning. As a psych once said to me... 'you can't say you're anhedonic if you never do anything fun!'
By the way, don't worry about not having sex on Celexa. Sex does not bring happiness, but a good relationship might. I haven't had sex for ages but my life is no worse without it. Sex never was as good as I expected!
Regards,
Ed.
