I'm sorry you gotta go through this. I've been in a similar boat and it isn't the easiest to work your way out of. I can just say that, for me, I had to find the right psychologist to work a lot of my stuff out with. Spirituality is another factor that I have to practice, and might be something worth taking a look at yourself if you haven't already, whatever that might mean for you. For me, it's been the difference between sinking back into existential dread and being able to relinquish that and appreciate the smaller things. I will say that I don't know if she was entirely off base in her assessment on weed. Though I don't agree with the "pills good, weed bad" rhetoric, it can have some downstream effects on our mood and energy, and what seems like a reliable crutch now might actually be getting in the way of discovering true solutions without realizing it. The CBD in weed also inhibits a certain liver enzyme that is responsible for breaking down a lot of pharmaceutical drugs, so there is an actual interaction that can occur there. I'm mainly speaking from my own experience and those of peers I've witnessed, but you might find it worth taking another look at your relationship with it. I recognize that everyone's different with stuff like this though. All of that said, I totally feel you on the reluctance with SSRIs. I had pretty bad experiences with those in the past. Supposedly they work for a lot of people but everyone I've known tends to just become flattened by them at best. I hope you can find whatever the missing link is. Unfortunately there's no "one size fits all" road map in life (shit, that'd be pretty nice), but for what it's worth I think you're doing the right thing. The fact that you're willing to seek help in some way at all is a big step forward in itself.
