Opinion?

Does time really heal all wounds? I am starting to think it does not.

Feeling very depressed today, it just seems like nothing ever goes right for me..
I see so many other people (and don't get me wrong, I know everyone has bad days) but these people are HAPPY. They WANT to live. Why can't I be like that? I have never completely felt that way, I just wish I knew what it felt like.. I have tried therapists and medications for years, it just seems like nothing works.. I know I am being very vague about my situation because it is just such a long story, so bare with me here...but basically I am just wondering (and I want honest opinions), does it ever truly get better.

Time heals but not with magic,
It needs to love yourself first.
To believe that you deserve to be happy.
Even when you think that there is no way out.

No worries,
I can never have enough friends.  I will send you a message and a friend request.

I read your posts. They are opening my mind to a new way of thinking, it just seems like there is so much to it, which there is.. but I remember learning the SMART goals when I was hospitalized last year due to an overdose. I totally forgot about those. I am considering going back there for outpatient treatment. My experience there was horrible, but I think its because I couldnt get a hold of cigarettes, weed, pills or alcohol, and I HATED the fact that I was trapped there due to being 17 and not being able to sign myself out, and all the doors were locked 24/7. I felt like a prisoner. But maybe just going for the day will help, because that way I can sleep at home, but learn the coping mechanisms again and going to the group therapies, because that truly did help. I guess I've just lost my way since then, especially being pregnant now while watching my mother relapse into her meth addiction again, on top of finding out that I was molested by my brother 16 years ago and so on. Thank you for your insight, if possible I would appreciate keeping in contact with you as you seem to be more understanding than most.

This is an inpatient treatment center in Melbourne Florida:

Honestly in a sense time can heal all wounds.  Medicine and therapy helps but a lot of it is cognitive.  I have worked with people in treatment, on here, and in my personal life to help them with depression.  I have met few people that could not come out of the depression if they did the work to do so.  I have manic depression and it ***** but I have been able to keep myself out of it by sticking to a routine and doing things that make me happy.
I could go really deep into this but like I tell a lot of people I have already posted my opinions on how to fight depression on here and if you wish to read some of them look up:


Fighting Depression
Fighting Depression part 2
Fighting Depression part 3
Fighting Depression part 4 (simplicity)
Fighting Impatience, Stress, and Fear

I posted these on this forum.  They are all four on here but they are scattered between the first and second pages.
