Welcome to the Psych Central community, OldSouledHippie. I love your username.  As Leonard Cohen said, "I've been where you're hanging. I think I can see how you're pinned." It took most of my 59 years to finally get to a place where depression doesn't torment me. I made a lot of mistakes on the way-- but so don't we all. There is a spark of hope in you, one that caused you to join and post here. I hope you will nurture that spark. Keep reaching out here. And if you haven't yet, find a mental health professional to consult. It's too much to try to fight this without effective help.
