It takes me 2 weeks to buy a pair of shoes, 3 months to buy a cellphone, 6 to buy a laptop. The more complicated and,or more life changing the situation is, the longer it takes for me to come up with a correct response. Yet some people say I'm to impulsive.

I'm faced with a problem here requiring of a decision. I am severely depressed been that way as long as I could remember, been trough several doctors, councillors with no long term positive results. And that makes me feel even more hopeless. Got diagnosed with AS which made me believe that now that the possible cause is identified a solution is bound to follow, but all I got were a couple of pamphlets and a prescription for antidepressants. After a couple of moths I threw away both of them, the pamphlets because they provided no use, the prescription because it was only keeping me is emotional stasis. I don't think depression is something I can beat alone, but I have no friends and my family sees my problems as a form of competition of who had their life worse.

The problem is my depression the solution as asking somebody for help, plain and simple. But I don't know if I should even bother

if you don't want to take pills, there's a type of talk therapy called CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, that's been proven to help depression. you might look for a therpaist skilled in CBT.
