Hi, welcome
It's really sad how we can feel like the way you have felt this way for so long.
I've been here 13 years and am 70yo. I endured mental illness, bipolar, depression and so on for 53years without diagnosis nor medication. So from what I've learned here is the process to undertake-
- A GP visit to your doctor to have a gentle chat and take their advice
- Accept that treatment is essential if needed and also accept that the treatment often is life changing for the better. You wont know yourself if that happens, it can wipe most of your present struggles away. The difference can be chalk and cheese.
- Think about your hobbies, sports and interests. Do you have any? They are important to distract us from that emptiness.
- We are here for you.
I hope that helps. If you want to reply and give us more information feel free. I'm interested.
