Can someone answer this question?
I'm feeling like I want to die because my depression has stayed the same despite many attempts to help myself and change my patterns. I don't really want to die ideally but I've been this way for a long time and I truly would rather be dead than live this way for the rest of my life.
If I'm going to feel this way for the rest of my life (which I hope isn't true but it seems to be) then why should I hang in there?

how lucky for me!
hun, i'ver been there many, many, many times and it hurts just asa much each time. i won't lie to you.
but, i come out of it each time to. and each time i'm there, i tell myself, 'myself, you've got so much to live for.' before my son and husband and sister and nieces, i had college, and coffee and ciggies, and beer, and sunshine, and babble, and friends, and music, and febreeze (amazxing the silly things you find to live for, eh?)...
point being, you ask? i'd drag my depressed butt out of bed every single day just for that first cup of coffee and ciggie, before my son and husband. now, things have changed and i really have something to drag my sad butt out of bed for.
things get better and sometimes things get worse, but honey, things are always ghanging, that's for sure!
you hang in there!
and hey, it's tax time! maybe a refund is something to look for ward to as well? find those small things. and a small walk everyday can help bnoost your mood just a bit every day too.
if you need anything darling, please babblemail me. mine's always on and i'm always listening!
take care. there are tons of listening people here too!
you can call me kk, if you like.

There's no easy answer unfortuantely, KK's right, try and look to the small things to keep yourself going. Have a look on the posts on the boards around here - there are some very understanding people. You sound like you're not ready to give up yet, which is great. Hang in there.
Regards
Jo
