Do you exercise? I don't mean go on walks, which people consider exercise for some reason, but things like running long distances/sprinting or go to the gym and lift heavy things on a regular basis. I notice you mention climbing and a trip to Asia but specifics are not mentioned. If you do not, I would try this before trying a pharmaceutical intervention which should be left as a last ditch effort. Exercise helps massively with brain function and mood be releasing endogenous compounds that aren't released in large amounts from other activities.

I guess I should also ask, why do you feel the need to have a partner? Do you want to reproduce? I know as living organisms most of us do. Maybe you could dive in deep and examine that desire and what purpose it serves.

Also, poor people should get more money.

I'm not sure what your comment has to do with the subject at hand, it seems to be sarcastic but poorly placed.
