I'm a 23-year-old girl. My dad is dead, as of 2017. My mother is a narcissist. She's capable of manipulative "kindness" and "caring". But it's artificial and the moment she realizes it won't get her anything, she drops it. The rest of my family? They couldn't care less. I have no siblings.
I don't live with her anymore. I live with my boyfriend. I love him more than my own life. I'm not capable of living for myself. I have no worth.
I've been on 43 different types of medicines. All for depression, anxiety, etc. I'm 23. What will happen when I'm older? Most medicines either didn't work, stopped working, the dosage was so high that it was going to hurt me, etc.
I switched off Zoloft to Lexapro and it's not working. I'll cry at the drop of a hat. I'll get so angry that I punch walls. My hands are so bruised. I cannot help it. It boils up and over and won't go away.
I won't go back on Zoloft since it eliminated my libido entirely and that hurt my boyfriend because he didn't understand what was going on. He has a stupidly high libido. No guilt sex or anything.
It's highly unlikely ill kill myself unless I lose him. My friends are his friends and I'd be scared of them if he left me. I'm not the type to be friends with exes.
And no I'm not with him because of his friends. It's been 5 years in October and we do love each other. But no sex makes your partner worry, understandably so.

Friend help
My friend on social media keeps posting about how they are “being abused by his parents” and “has no one to take care of him” but at the same time goes...
There is always hope. I know because I have been where you are. Not the parent's situation but the medication and the feeling like there is no hope thing. I was depressed for a long time and honestly felt like there was nothing really going for me and no point to anything like at all. I was just going through the motions. But there comes a time when you have to push yourself and realize you are the reason you need to start living. No one else will be there for you the entire time of your life except you. No guy, or friend, and family. You have to learn to rely on yourself and appreciate you. I know harder said than done. But it is the little things you do for yourself. And for the medication situation, I have been on every medication under the moon since the 1st grade. Try finding the right set of medications. For me, I have to be on 2 different medicines. Or try finding a different doctor.
