Has Anyone Here Had Chronic Depression, The Kind That Lasts For Decades, Even With Treatment? If So, Do You Have Any Advice?
Get help as soon as you can via a doctor or a crisis specialist.
I found help through my faith in GOD and helpful friends and family.
Keep trying meds—there are a lot of them out there. They might not work 100%, but they might keep you alive
I have been on medication for years and try to make myself feel better by groups art etc but it's a struggle I find myself back to square one
AdrianaBlake---You must be having a very hard time right now. Try to get out of the house, if you can. Do you have any support from other people in your life? Pets? Reach out to someone. Here are some phone numbers that can help:
Samaritans - They focus on "befriending." You can call or text them 24/7 at (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators) (HOPE).
The National Suicide Prevention Hotline focuses on supporting those considering taking their lives. A crisis center worker, someone who is trained to help those who are experiencing active suicidal ideation, will answer the phone. (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). You can also head to their website and use their chat function.
My faith has helped a great deal. Here's a link my dad's favorite Psalm 91, about God protecting and loving you: https://bibleproject.com/bible/niv/psalms/91/
Be well.
