I'm one, and I bet there are a lot of us. It's not so much that I've given up on life (although there certainly are times when I feel that way), but that I've given up searching for a medical holy grail. Like many of us, there are situational things that I grapple with, and they're not going to be alleviated with medication/therapy. After many years of many med tries, I simply decided to get off the med bandwagon and do my best to learn to tolerate the discomfort, and to enjoy what I can. Some may say that "giving up" is bad, and to never stop trying, but for me it was like that definition of insanity about doing the same thing over and over, expecting different results.
I feel for you, brother. Hang in there!
