Cactus without options

I’m the first to admit I’m no saint… or at least I wasn’t 10 years ago.
But these days I’m forced to buy meds online, and I’m 100% aware one day it’s going to contain a potent substance and I’ll be dead and there’s nothing I can do about it. No one cares. I’m 50 because I was on a program in my 30s I can only get anti depressants they don’t do it for me and I’m fine with it. I’m actually longing for it to happen. I’ve told doctors it didn’t change a thing. No one cares.

Wondering whether you've received an official diagnosis, regarding what doctors are medicating you for (what exactly is causing the depression). In some cases anti depressants may not make any difference if the cause of the depression relates to something that requires a more specific type of medication or treatment. Depression can be a brutal side effect of a whole stack of different conditions and if no one's able to identify the condition, it can remain depressing. Hope that makes sense. Do you get a sense that no one's really getting to the bottom of the cause and this is why you continue to suffer? Definitely tempting to look for anything that works, out of absolute and complete desperation. My heart goes out to you.
