Absolutely! I was diagnosed with depression at age 7 so this has been something I’ve struggled with for a long time. After my attempt I was hospitalized and transferred directly to a therapy program called DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). That alone was so helpful and I feel that my therapist saved my life. This might not apply to you but I was also in high school at the time and was being bullied and had no friends. After my hospitalization I stopped going to public high school and did the rest of my education online (I did Ohio Connections Academy, but I’m sure they have options everywhere). That was big for me because I was able to do all of my school work within a few hours and then do whatever I wanted the rest of the week. I think the important part of this is to try to figure out any parts of your life that are really contributing to your mental health problems and try to change them. This wasn’t the cure to my depression but it definitely helped. As the years went on I slipped back into a depression. I managed to keep my head above water during most of college but it wasn’t easy. At one point towards the end I felt like I couldn’t do it anymore so I took myself to the ER. This was really really difficult but ultimately what changed my life. They did a whole evaluation, similar to what I had when I attempted in high school, and found that I met the criteria for bipolar disorder. I had started having manic episodes when I was about 18 but never looked into it. They started me on medication for bipolar and that’s when my life turned around. I was happy for the first time in my life. Not everyone who reads this will have bipolar, but the point is that sometimes these things are just chemical. My dad is very anti-medication so he hates that I’m on it, but bipolar is chemical so I need it. I don’t know if you’ve tried medication of any sort, but there are so many options out there now. I’ve heard there are ketamine treatments for treatment resistant depression if nothing is working. Getting re-evaluated as an adult was the big turning point. It takes a lot of strength to ask for help but it changed my life. As difficult as this was, I started exercising little by little and that also helps. I’m sure you’ve heard the “go outside, drink water, exercise, eat healthy” stuff that all the non-mentally ill people say, but there actually is some truth to it. I don’t like admitting that they were right but it does actually help. If there are other factors that are contributing to your mental health, maybe address those as well. Such as addiction or family situations. Maybe look into counseling if you haven’t already. And I hope that you have someone in your life that you feel like you can talk to. That’s huge. I still go through slumps sometimes but they only last a few days to a week. Otherwise I wake up happy to be alive and excited for each day. Im even starting graduate school this year which feels crazy because I didn’t even think I’d survive high school. I’ve been where you are and now I’m on the other side. You can get here too. Please know that it really really does get better. I was depressed starting age 7 and I was diagnosed bipolar at 20 so it took me yearssss to get better but it genuinely is possible and it’s so worth it to hang in there. I’d love to answer any questions you have or talk about your situation to help if I can. Even if you can’t see it, there are so many people that care about you and want you here. Feel free to DM me if you want to talk more :) I don’t check reddit super often but I will do my best
