It sounds to me like you were beating your head against a wall, trying to get help where there was none being offered. I have a feeling that when you seek assistance from a different mental health provider(s) you will reap more productive results. The place you've been working with is clearly a dud. I can certainly understand why you don't believe things can get better, but truly, they can.
One mention I will make about medication...I might sound a bit harsh, but I'm just coming from a place of experience. We have an illness, like it or not. In a perfect world the meds to treat that illness would have no side effects. Unfortunately, the meds available to us do have side effects (although some meds don't have excessive ones). I hate the side effects; we all do. But it's the old "risk vs. benefit" - if the illness is life disabling the benefit of medication might just be worth the side effects. (I know, it truly sucks.)
