Hanging on by a thread. I have been struggling(and losing)with depression of an on for 20 years. As of late I have been on Paxil during the day and Ambien at night for sleep. I have been steadily slipping into deeper and deeper depression. I don't ever dream and am awakening feeling more and more tired. The combination of exhaustion and depression is breaking me and I feel like I have little time left. My shrink says that there is no value in hospitalization since they will just discharge me the moment they think I am not suicidal. I am lost and would appreciate someone suggesting a direction. My Doc feels that all meds have been tried and have failed and is out of ideas other than telling me to be tough and keep going. I am running out of determination. I feel like I can't keep pushing on.
