If you can feel it, there must be ways to test things you could do to shift it back to a happier feeling for yourself, whether it be time in the sun, sports, watching a movie, or even a one on one talk with a friend.
That is a long span for you to feel happy again, if you went to talk to a therapist they could give you tools to help yourself that doesn't involve medications.
It is within you if you feel bad about yourself to begin with the slightest set back will downward spiral you because you have to coping skills set up to stop it when you feel it coming on.
Whenever you hear yourself say " Loser " tell yourself to stfu, change your thoughts immediately.
It's not what you have, it's what you do with what you have that matters.
