Help

Im 23. I've tried to commit suicide before. And I have felt depressed since I was in primary school. Doctors just put me on meds and take me to psychiatrists and therapists, I've told them none of it works or has worked. Why can't anyone help me..? Im begging for a reason not to just give up now. Living with this depression for over ten years and having no luck with treatments just makes the light at the end of the tunnel dimmer and dimmer. I've lost hope.

i am some one who thinks about suicide alot, i find making myself as busy as possible. Take each day as it comes. Take the time to listein to your self.  Have you any pets, i have a budgie and he is a great listiener. When you see a doctor have what you want to say written down and if you don;t like what he says ask to see someone else. Rememebr life is a journey some times bumpy and you may lose your way but eventually you will get on a strecth of the journey that is pleasent.

Don't ever give up hope especially on yourself. My depression and anxiety was so extreme that I had to give up on my job that I worked for 15 years. I went on disability since 2002 and am hoping to go back to work some time this year. My old doc had me on more than 6 different meds and I walked around with my eyes half open everyday. Then he referred me to another doctor who tried all the latest drugs plus electroconvulsive therapy but none of those things worked. It wasn't til one day my doc looked at me and said "I don't know what do for you" ---my heart sank----then he thought for a moment and asked if I had tried any of the old depression drugs, specifically one called Parnate. I said no. I tried it for a few days and suddenly the dark tunnel that I was in had some light coming through. My interests in some things had been renewed. I was an avid reader but still I have problems with that at times.
The point being don't give up on yourself, do research and tell your doctor about the drugs you found online, work with him as I did with mine. Don't rely on just the doc but if you have the internet and a computer do research on depression drugs and if your doc refuses your input then maybe it is time to find another doctor.
Keep your chin up. Don't ever lose hope. Take life one day at a time -----many times it is an hour or a minute at a time but don't give up.
We are all here for you.
If you want to talk to me, then please do because you are not alone.
