Who else has given up hope that they’ll “get better” or not be depressed anymore? After 40 years of suffering on this Earth, I don’t have any hope that “things will get better” or that “things will change” or that I will no longer be depressed and live happy. If it hasn’t happened after 40 fucking years, why would it suddenly change after year 50? Sigh.
Anyone else on this forever depressed boat?

Yup. I don’t think happiness is on the menu for me anymore. Now it’s just a case of making the best of a bad situation until I die naturally or find the resolve to off myself.
I’m adjusting to the concept. Depression isn’t curable, no matter what anyone says. Meds mask symptoms, therapy teaches coping techniques. Management is all a person can hope for…maybe this boat will hit an iceberg with Titanic results.
I’ve spent more than 20 years trying to find a way out of depression and I have failed.
There is obviously no reason to think things are going to be different in year 41 than year 40 unless you do something different. If you feel like you’ve done all you can, I’m with you.
Posts like this make me wonder why doctor-assisted suicide for mental health is still illegal. People shouldn’t have to suffer for decades if they don’t want to.
Because Money. There are giant industries that profit off of human sickness and misery. There is no money to be made from happy healthy people.
