I suppose they denied me CBT because maybe that particular program was designed for milder cases? Not sure.
In any case I feel my mood disorder is endogenous and I would likely get little benefit from CBT, though it can't hurt. I'm suffering through this alone without getting to talk to someone about it regularly.
Currently on no meds since september 18 and reviewing options. Previously took Fluvoxamine, Zoloft, and Trintellix augmented with Abilify, in chronological order. No response to any of them.
Severe anxiety and depression. I start the day in absolute terror and gradually get better by evening.
I have a vague suspicion I suffer from some type of endorphin deficiency (because I have a positive immediate response to alcohol) but can't prove it. Been researching antidepressants that also act on opioid receptors as agonists, but haven't found any definitive info on that front.
