I feel like my life used to be good back in 2018 not it's bad in 2024. I started feeling sad in 2024 when i realised my life isnt as good as it used to be. I don't really have sleep disturbances, i enjoy good night's sleep

I used to be married to my wife now she isnt with me. I've been getting mental health treatment for a few years now and i don't like it. My life is very boring alot of the time and hard. I go alot of the time without food as i dont have much work.

Brief Answer:
Counseling

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Thanks for the information.

I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist as your mental health for now needs counseling more than medications.

It would need a few sessions of counseling by when you would be ascertained with a realization that moving on with your life is only healthy option you have.
