Dear Rosalind:
The subject of your post really says it all; it sounds like you really do need help, and fast. Is there a crisis center you could connect with in your area? I'm guessing that you might qualify for state disability income. I guess a lot depends upon where you live, as to what resources might be available to you, and who might be available to help you access them. Please try to realize that in your current emotional state, it would be a very good idea to postpone any decision-making about whether you want to continue your life. You could decide that suicide is an option you'll consider . . . later, after you reach out for the help you need and deserve. Death is always there for the taking; life isn't. I've had the kind of depression you describe, and I did get much better, with medication and therapy. As have thousands of others. I hope you will join us.
Leslie
