Question:

Is there really any hope left for me?

well im gonna be 17 soon and ever since i was 12 i have been diagnosed as clinically depressed,anxiety, ocd,tourettes, epilepsy, and this bladder problem. i swear the docter visits never end, and my depression hasnt either. Frankly im getting tired of all this not to mention my family problems.
my biggest thing right now tho is my depression. In the last 5 yrs i have tried therapy, medication, the looney bin, exercise and other coping tools. EVERYTHING! nothing is making me feel happy. i have no other options that i can think of, do you?
i am losing hope of ever having a normal steady life. i mean 5 yrs the average person does have atleast one depressing era in their life but nver for 5 yrs!

Answers:

First, know you are not alone. Lots of people suffer from depression for extended periods of time. And it sucks.

I try to take pleasure in little things - coloring a picture, writing a poem, going for a walk. Set lots of little goals for yourself. Try to feel good when you accomplish them. Little activities spread throughout the day will help you stay "sane".

Find joy in little moments. Don't obsess with not feeling happy all the time, that will just make you feel worse.

Good luck. Depression really sucks.
