Wow, that's pretty bleak man!. My actual situation isn't nearly as bad, but depression ravages my soul nonetheless!. For me, there is nothing that can fill the hole inside of me, despite some of the successes in my life!. To be honest, maybe you should end it!. I'm not saying this to be a jerk or insensitive, but honestly, do you really see any hope at reaching any sort of contentment!? This is the question I ask myself as well!. I'm sure a lot of people will be disgusted by this sentiment, but do the people that tell you to carry on really care about you, or are they simply giving the response that they feel is 'right!?' They don't feel your pain, so it is easy for them to tell you that there is always hope, and to take each day at a time!. While I know such people mean well, they aren't purely motivated by your wellbeing in this matter!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

don't give up!. and the first thing you should do is get a job!. you may not want to, but do it!. it will get you up and going everyday!. Also you should see if there is some kind of medication you can take, to prevent anymore outbreaks!. As for never being with the opposite sex, go to place with lots of people, a bar for instance, and don't be afraid to order the person that catches your eye a drink!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Definately look into therapy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

its ok, you're life is not ruined, theres always help =]
heres what you do
there was another question on yahoo that said "is thirty to old to start a new life" and all the answers said "nooo of course not, some ppl do it at 50" and thats basically what you gotta do, just leave everything behind, your criminal record, your outburts back when you were young, and just focus on "the now",
secondly, your disability i believe there is medicine for that right!?, i think there is a way you can lower your disability to a point, not get rid of it cuz thats not possible, but you can take medicine to lower it to a point where sometimes you can't notice it, i know its hard for you because some people think "oh i dont want to have relations with a mental guy" but there are some people out there that really just want to help you, and if you're starting "a new life" then that can be a goal for you, and if you don't achieve your goal - so what, i don't achieve half of my goals and i never feel depressed, because i just save them and make new goals, and i also set deadlines for my goals, once it finishes i make a new one, all you gotta do is get help for your disability, forget your past (except the good memories =]) and hope everything works outWww@Answer-Health@Com
