I've had depression for many years and lately the symptoms have been worse than ever. I'm on meds and see a psychologist for counseling (I don't find it helpful and frankly, a waste of money and time). I drag myself out of bed to go to a job that I'm taken advantage of and underpaid. After work, I go to the gym on some nights even though I'm extremely tired. Once I pull in the parking lot, I have to sleep for a few minutes before going in. Then I come home to a verbally abusive sibling who makes fun of me for everything including the depression. I never admitted having it but he found one of my prescription printouts. I have very few friends that I don't see much of. A couple of them know about the depression but not all. All that to say that my life is constant misery and loneliness. I want to believe things will get better and not give up but things only seem to get worse. I know I'm not alone, what do others do?
