I haven't tried anything tbh. I am currently having therapy but that's for social anxiety, not for depression. I don't need to try anything for me to know that it won't work because my issues are with life itself as well as my autism, both of which can't be cured. Plus I'm not interested in listening to therapists who are already biased towards being pro life and already assume that life is the best thing ever and that suffering is worth it. Maybe therapy would be helpful for me if they weren't biased towards being pro life and had an open mind to understand somebody like me but, as of right now, that isn't the case so I know that it won't help me

All types of therapies for panic disorder and high anxiety levels I developed almost 2 years ago after experiencing depression and traumatising experiences. None helped. I'm on ssris and benzos now. Tried lifestyle change by going to the gym, changing diet, lowering sugar and caffeine intake. Nothing is helping. Pills and distraction every day all that is. That's why I'm considering CTB because it can potentially get a lot worse and I might develop another issues. I really hope I'll be ready when I can't take it anymore.

Only thing I haven't is electro therapy.. I forget what it's called
I got a lot of memory loss from electroshock therapy for temporary relief. Not everybody does but it should be an absolute last resort treatment

Nothing. I have no energy to go after that. Also I'm sure I'd be gaslighted by doctors. I don't want to go out searching for someone to listen to me. And I don't want to survive on medication.

Psych meds when I was child. I tried therapy earlier this year for three sessions but I stopped because it was useless. Just laugh live love go outside and make friends, in therapy form and with assumptions added on too. Skeptical of therapy in general. I don't see myself changing my mind so the utility of therapy is limited.

I've had multiple therapists and it obviously didn't work. I also tried getting a psychiatrist for the first time this year but that failed too because I refused everything they recommended and they also refused to prescribe me things like benzos or Xanax though I doubt those would have worked anyway.

The only reasonable thing I haven't tried yet is being in a relationship which I've been told won't actually work but I don't care. I'd do my best to make it work though the opportunity will likely never present itself anyway.

Not much luck, either, not even weed. ☹️. Thinking of my trying psilocybin. In Oregon they have places now. But kind of $$$.

Same, but I've been looking into ketamine treatment, which is also very pricey, $5000-$9000 for 8 sessions 😥 and there's no guarantee it will help.
In fact, I'm so exhausted and tired of all these medications, therapies, doctors, useless advices, unaffordable treatments, etc. that I don't want to try anything anymore ( ,,,'・~・',,)
I feel like a guinea pig for all these doctors, it sucks.

Shop around, there's clinics who offer infusions or intramuscular injections for substantially less, we're talking 200-300 per session.

Currently I'm on 2 antidepressants, I've recently started group therapy and I'm a daytime psych ward patient. I'm down for transcranial magnetic stimulation.
In the past I tried 10 different antidepressants, including combinations like california rocket fuel etc, psychodynamic therapy, and I've been through a psych ward stay but that barely qualifies as treatment.
Nothing really works so I'm getting ready to go for the option that hardly ever disappoints - full suspension hanging :)

i haven't tried anything. i'm one of the silly people who don't believe in systemised gaslighting aka therapy.

i also don't believe in meds bc i don't actually think there is anything wrong with my brain.

we live in an objectively diabolical world so idk why people try to tell us that we're crazy.

For me personally the problem is existence itself so death would be the treatment for me, if I had the option to die painlessly it would solve everything for me as after all if I don't exist then I cannot suffer in any way and all is finally forgotten about, all suffering is ultimately as a result of existence after all and I'd never wish to exist, existence just feels like a mistake to me and I see it as such a cruel, torturous burden to be conscious in this existence. I'd always prefer to peacefully cease existing than to prolong the suffering just to be tortured by old age, it's so terrifying to me how there's no limit as to how much agony one can feel as long as they exist and I was just never meant for any of this anyway, non-existence is all I personally see as desirable, I just wish I had a painless death to save me from all future, unnecessary suffering.

Therapy for 17 years, CBT and EMDR. My past psychologist may have used other techniques as well but I'm not sure. Then meds: Sertraline, Risperidone, Risperdal Consta, Venlafaxine, Lorazepam, Zolpiclone, Zolpidem, Mirtrazapine, these are the ones I used for in total 6 years (not all at the same time). Tried meditation, exercise, change in diet, changed my whole life around including the country I live, changed jobs, tried gratitude exercises and all that bs, suicide hotlines in 2 countries, crisis team, community mental health team, 3 psychiatrists in total, better sleep hygiene, journaling. What haven't I tried?! I'm missing ketamine and ECT, the latter one I won't try as I now know the risks.

Now I'm attempting a team of psychologists through Talking Therapies. I have no fucks left to give, already told them I don't need venting, don't need "I'm so sorry to hear that", I need solutions and if there's no solutions I'd rather check myself out.

On the side, I've been reading about behavioural therapy and the work of Pavlov on conditioning theory and I'll be trying to Pavlov myself into happiness. If that ever works, I'll report back.
