I'm just getting to the point of total disconnect and feels as if this will be my struggle for life. Just want to have hope and look forward to life.
I know that until I fix this, I will never be able to live a happy life.
And if you can't live a happy life, well what's the point?
I too have been struggling with depressive symptoms for many years, and sometimes feel like it's pointless to go on because I'll be fighting it forever and will never truly be happy. A lot of days, I feel really crappy. But, I do eventually have a couple good days in a row, and I come out of the fog long enough to think, "okay, I'm feeling a little better, maybe there is hope after all" and I'm more willing to get help for myself (therapy, meds, whatever). On my worst days, I can't imagine ever feeling hopeful or happy again, but I know that is a symptom of the illness as well.

I know it is bad now, but hang in there!
