50 sessions in 5 days, what can I expect for each day? does it get easier/harder? any dips?

I’ve only been in corporate for a year and I feel jaded and burnt out in work and in life. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t know what interests me, I don’t know what I’m good at, I don’t know what I want to do with my life. I feel like i’m not good enough for anything. My role is mundane and irrelevant and doesn’t even contribute to society. I keep making careless mistakes on simple tasks and it sends me into a spiral every time. It’s a never ending loop. I feel so incompetent. I can’t even do well in a simple role, how am I able to find something ‘better’? Everyday I find myself not having the motivation to do better even though I know I can and I need to, but i just can’t. I know what’s wrong with me but I just can’t do it. I don’t know if it’s the depression (diagnosed) but I just feel like i’m giving myself an excuse how pathetic. I’m so tired of life. I have a complete lack of purpose in my life and everyday i am just struggling to get through the day. Every single day I am worrying about a future that I might not even exist in.

I don’t know what’s the point of this post but i needed to vent it out somewhere. is it ever possible to get out of this state? i don’t think so. i’ve had chronic depression for years and it never gets better. i feel like it will win me someday soon.

i’ve been on zoloft 50mg (taking at night) for a week so far and i’ve felt no change, both positive and negative. maybe a little bit more tiredness in the morning. is this normal?

i’m also taking duloxetine (cymbalta) 60mg in the morning. i’m aware there’s some interactions but my psychiatrist prescribed it for me so i’m trying to trust the process here. been on duloxetine + lexapro before too but nothing else other than fatigue

how does this combination work and why would it be prescribed?

for context i have tried lexapro, wellbutrin, duloxetine alone and combined but none worked well enough. my psychiatrist decided to add sertraline 50mg to my current duloxetine 60mg dose. read online that it is not advisable to take both as it can be high risk

does anyone have any experience taking these 2 at the same time? positive or negative is appreciated

i’m taking it for depression (mdd + pdd) and my main symptoms are hopelessness and passive suicidal/self harm thoughts

i have previously tried lexapro and wellbutrin to no avail

hi, i’m going for my first session tomorrow in hopes to help with my depression. i am a little scared of needles and this part worries me because i don’t want to be too anxious before my appointment. where do they stick the needles? what do i need to prepare before/after the appointment? what do i need to tell them specifically about my depression?
