As a mental health professional, SSRI's are poison! Given enough time your body will no longer make its own seratonin and it cannot be reversed. See a counselor, find a hobby, get a dog, do things even if you don't feel like it. You will get through it.

I've had a similar life experience. I used to paint landscapes and do other art. Last 6 years have done nothing. Funny, today was my last day on Voat and even on the computer. My husband had a stroke a few months ago and now skin cancer. Q can't fix that and I'm worn done hoping justice returns but I need to live now. So do you! Have heart Anon. Best wishes and prayers.

Praying for you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻. Know that you are precious in God’s eye. Don’t give in to despair. You may become despondent, but keep HOPE in your mind. God has a plan for you ! I’ve been there... sick , depressed, in pain, feeling alone, unable to work. Cling to God, your Father, Ask Him to show you His love. (It’ll come in the way of a smile, a sunset, a lovely breeze...it’ll be something gentle that tugs at your heart.)
Go for walks, get some sun. Eat healthy...some. treats now and then....NO BOOZE. It is is a depressant and is TERRIBLE for us who suffer from depression. It is a FAKE. It steals from you as it is a temporary fix.
As far as SSRI’s, I’ve tried em all. Temporary fix- with weight gain.
Have you tried St. John’s Wort? It is a natural antidepressant. Helping me a lot, I can tell you brand I like ( no nausea ).
Wish I could speak to you. Trust that you will be in my prayers.
