I've been dealing with depression since my teens. Medications don't help for long and never totally. There seems to be so much pushing me back down. I'm worried that I'll end up in that dark hole again. Most days I just wish I could turn myself off.

Imagenie, big hugs for you!

You're not alone. I've been struggling with this thing since childhood too. Sometimes I wish I could turn on the light switch in my brain. Do you have any hobbies? Is there something you can distract yourself with when you feel you're about to sink? I try music, movies, writing, reading, watching makeup tips on youtube, walking outside, calling my sister or a friend. Anything worked for you in the past that you can try today? I know this whole experience is frustrating, but hang in there!

Hello & Welcome, Imagenie.

Have any of your doctors ever taken an integrated approach that addressed the depression and the insomnia/sleep disorder together?
