It's no one's place here to recommend meds. That's the job of a professional, and for damn good reason.
I hope you're getting professional treatment @EspaDa

Suffering from some kind of anxiety that bothers me greatly. I mean, I have some kind of phobias but they do not alter my lifestyle in such way that I'd be unable to live my life as I've been doing it thus far. The thing that's the worst is that feel of futility of life, dunno how I got it, I always loved living and enjoyed many aspects of everyday life but now I'm apathetic and in low spirits. It's so fucking fearsome - I'm performing a given activity and I'm pondering why I'm even doing it as I'LL DIE ANYWAY. It's fucking stupid but that's how I've been feeling for like 2 weeks now. I contacted a psychiatrist some time ago and he prescribed me xanax, it used to help but I feel my misery coming back again. We'll see how I'll do in following days, the worst part of the day is obviously morning, it's a fucking catastrophe, have no lifeblood to continue the day although I know I have people I can rely on and they are extremely dear to me, however, compulsive thoughts are in charge of my mind. Sad story, bro. Any advice from you, sick fucks?
It's pretty clear you're anti-med when you call psychiatrists "unethical as a group".
Psychiatry is a legitimate and necessary branch of health care that just happens to draw from an extremely challenging science. Interactions between drugs and the brain are insanely complex, and currently impossible to fully understand. I think many anti-med people unfairly blame psychiatry for the effects of this problem without acknowledging the cause. A fairer criticism is that psychiatrists too often make diagnoses that cannot accurately be made without the skills of a psychotherapist and a lot of counseling time. Therapy involves a very different skill set that can't be expected of someone who has to go through the years of education required to practice psychiatry.
Ideally everyone would be required to go through enough counseling to be diagnosed accurately, but obviously that tends to be expensive (which also makes it difficult to prosecute overprescription as a form of medical malpractice). Sometimes a cheaper, less-reliable treatment is the only treatment available, but ANY professional treatment is more likely to be reliable than average people playing Internet Drug Doctor.
i feel you man. I've been in and out of that hole for a while now. I know one thing thought, the xanax would have definitely made things worse if you kept taking them. Sorry man, dont have much advice other than just stay strong, it will get better.

Yeah, fuck xanax. It's fucking siren's charm. Have you also suffered from anxiety and that kind of shit?
It's strange that there are people with severe mental illnesses who need drugs, and professional help choosing the right drugs? This ain't exactly astrology we're talking about.feels strange to call something essential and then in the next sentence say that no one understands it and the drug ethics within said "science" are also a problem as well as the laziness/ineptitude of those in said health care

you just demonstrated the problems within said profession
quite honestly, astrology seems to have more of a logical basis than just pure sedation via psychiatric drugging
