61 years and I'm still here but what is the point, its not going to improve, I feel certain 61 years of this mongrel depression has proved that and I'm so tired of it, tired of everything that goes with it, like the guilt that you just want to be dead but everyone telling you " no you don't, just hang in there, reach out, there is help if you just reach out" for many that may be true, but for so many of us reaching out has been a nightmare that only made a bad situation worse, for many of us it is just going to be an endless painful struggle till at last our numbers up, so how does it make sense to "just hold on" what would make more sense is legalize assisted suicide, so us hopeless cases could leave this world in a humane painless, no fuss or mess way, not for those who can be got past a rocky patch and will come good but those of us that will never be free from Depression it would really help. It would be great to have a legal team as part of it to help get your affairs in order so as not to leave a mess for loved ones when they least can cope with all the rig mer roll that comes with death. I know a lot of people will think this is horrid as they feel life is precious and what I would give to feel that way, I did once when 1 med worked for years, life was great and i wish I could get that back but the medication stopped working and 45 ECT's, countless combinations of medications, therapy, TMS and positive thinking has done nothing to bring it back. Depression really really sucks and I'm really really tired of fighting an unwinnable battle

I'm so sorry to hear that you're going through this. It must be incredibly tough to have faced such a long and challenging journey with depression. Your perseverance is truly remarkable, especially given how much you've endured.
It's understandable to feel disheartened when treatments that once worked no longer do. Holding onto hope, even when it's difficult, shows real strength. I genuinely hope that a breakthrough in treatment comes your way soon, bringing you the relief and peace you deserve.
If nothing else, I hope you find your posting here helps to make a difference, even if small.

Thank you, I hope a break threw comes soon for all of us here, we all have suffered enough, it's truly sad to read the stories of so many, and the desparation and heplessness they are caught in, some are so young and have to deal with this curse when all they should have to be doing is experiencing life and have fun. I truly hope that something comes along so they don't have to live this way, I've lived with it 50+ years but I've never really lived at all, just survived with this mongrel black dog always biting away at me, it's time the mongrel was muzzled. My thoughts go out to all who are suffering, sadly I can't help any of you, but I do have a fair idea just how you feel, and I truly do sympathise

Empathy isn't as common as it should be, it's clear you have it.
Being ultra positive I've cluthed onto the positives of having mental challenges. Poetry, adventure, creativity entertainment are some of the unique spin-offs from our conditions.
Can you identify?
