Katie, I’m sorry to hear about your situation. You seem to be intelligent, perceptive and eloquent (each of which would be a positive ‘contamination’ of the gene pool). I can’t really offer any advice for your situation, except to tell you about how I’ve dealt with (less extreme) depression in my life. I’ve noticed that as I’ve gotten a little bit older and gotten the freedom that comes with it, that I’ve been a little happier, since I am able to choose my surroundings and the people around me (to some extent). I’m not suggesting that ‘waiting to get older’ is some sort of solution for you; I’m merely suggesting that it’s possible that you have something to look forward to rather than seemingly infinite depression. Plus, I’ve noticed with myself that my view of the world slowly, but steadily changes, as well as how I see myself and others. Something that has always made me feel a little better when depressed has been transferring my feelings to paper, because it is nonjudgmental and around when others don’t seem to be. It certainly couldn’t replace professional help, but maybe it’s a start for sorting out your feelings. Good luck.
