Hi Rudy and welcome to the forums.
The sense of hopelessness is just the depression talking to you and effecting your thoughts. Try to remember that, it is hard. Relief is available. This is an illness you may have to be aware of always, and there may always be troublesome periods with it, but the sense of hopelessness can be lifted with treatment and a good future is possible and likely if you keep trying.

Hello Rudy. Welcome. I'm truly sorry you have to fight with this terrible illness. I do too, so I know how it feels. Just keep taking your medicine and keep posting. It will get better, even though now it looks like it won't.
Take care of yourself. PM me anytime you need to, ok?

Hello Rudy,
I'm new here as well.. I know how you feel. I go to Nursing School at night, going through a down hill process. I've finally just able to amitt that to myself. Droping out school completly is a mistake, as hard as life seem to get latly, education is very imporant. One day we won't be able to have it. Career is something a comman person struggle with, I just started a small part time job...It a start. Hang in there. So far these wounderful people in this site have told me some great advice and support. |

Glad to have you here rudy. Sometimes there is no scapegoat where these problems are concerned. We just are the way we are. You said that you have been to 3 psychiatrists. Have you been in therapy? Sometimes meds just aren't enough. Sometimes there are things deep-seated in us that intensify the chemical imbalances that make us feel the way we do. If you're not in talk therapy, I'd recommend it. I hope that your days will be a little brighter now that you have found us. Please take care of yourself and check in when you can. Good luck.
Ry
