Hey man, I totally know where you're coming from. I experienced burnout which led to depression. Boy did it not feel good. My will to live was at an all time low and I was also in a bad mood, felt completely disinterested in doing things. I was in denial though, and once it got to a breaking point I was able to surpass my internally held stigma against seeking help.

I ended up seeking a psychiatrist who put me on prozac and wellbutrin, and started doing weekly therapy. It helped a lot, and I'm doing much better these days and I am no longer on the medication, just doing talk therapy.

For you, I would say consider seeking help from a psychiatrist, and just talk to them. They won't always put you on medication.

But I think more importantly, you should look for a therapist that you like and helps you. I was fortunate to find a great one on my first try, but talking to my therapist just lets me air all my life grievances, feel heard, and helps me just let go of things that don't matter.

It sounds like your symptoms are different than mine, so I think it makes sense to seek help from a professional.

Best of luck, this is a great first step to seeking help though, best of luck OP.
