Hi -
I can hear you and I do feel the hurt as I am reading your words. I also feel hopeful because you have made it here and you are sharing your fight. I don't think I should try to give you advice, but I do hear you. I can share my own experience.
My depression demon is weak. When I am low, I know that it does feel hopeless in that moment, but I also know that even though it seems unlikely, at some point in the future I will feel a little better, and when I look back it may even be difficult to remember why I was so low.
My depression demon is persistent. When I feel better, I know that the low spot seems distant and past, but I also know that at some point in the future I may feel bad again and that I will need to remind myself that it will pass.
I do hear your pain and I hope that you can find hope here.
