I have been depressed since I was 17 and I'm 34 now. I've truly never found something that makes me happy in life. Sometimes I feel ok and it's more anxiety than anything else, but on the whole im just a miserable person. I've tried medication, therapy, talking to family. Nothing works long term so what is the point?
I'm ashamed of this - I tried to overdose while I was pregnant. Baby and I are fine and luckily no one found out. The only thing that ties me here is my son and knowing that I couldn't leave him motherless.
I'm exhausted and don't see any future for me. I don't want to wake up when I go to bed at night. I pray and pray but I'm still here.
Does anyone agree that some people have depression that can't be treated? I have lived my whole adult life like this.
