I don't know whats wrong with me

[RT93]

Before I begin. I'm a 22yr old male. I  have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression for 5 years now. I was on citalopram for 4.5 years then switched and been on effexor for half a year. I'm healthy for the most part as I work out 4 times a week and eat mostly clean. I don't drink or do drugs. Also no sex life if that matters.

Anyways I have just been not feeling good lately. I sleep 8hours but still feel tired or like i never slept. My mind feels so tired i can't even really talk to people or pay attention to people when they talk.I feel so zoned out and feel like im a zombie at times with no thought or mental function.
At times I feel lost and don't know what is going on.
I have had therapists before, but they and my doctor don't understand me.
I have no idea what to do. Anyone have any suggestions as I would greatly appreciate it. :)

The statement that your doctors and therapists don't understand you sounds a bit off to me -- at least with the therapists, they do study this stuff.  Maybe you just didn't take to the therapy, but I doubt they didn't understand you (your doctor, if he's a general doc, is probably true -- they don't seem to understand much about anything).  Those of us with mental problems are difficult patients because of our disorders, so don't be so quick to put the problem on others -- it's more likely you who are difficult, as we all are with these disorders precisely because of them and how isolated they make us feel.  Now, the question as to how you're feeling is, did this start when you went on the Effexor?  What you're describing is a pretty common side effect of many antidepressants and antianxiety drugs, so if this is new since the new drug that could be the source of the problem.
