For those who think I can enjoy my PC and life. I code, design electronic devices, play with ai. But because of depression, nothing makes me happy. Only when I overdose drugs it is better. Life bbecomes more enjoable. However I can't overdose drugs every day. Sometimes I go outside, walk along a river, but it doesn't help. I still want to die.
I am the OP
I got out of a six year long depression 5 years ago. I went to the doctor stating I needed help, desperately. I had quite a few therapy sessions, and it wasn't very fun, but I focused on what approach seemed to have effect on my mental state and used that to break free. Totally worth it.
I don't know where it's from, but: "If you're going through hell, keep walking."
You got this.
This is what I will do. But if it doesn't get better then in a few years I will kill myself.
Told myself the same back in the day. Never got to that point, luckily.
