That doesn't sound like any fun. I agree that it is really hard for people who have not been depressed to understand what it is like. Usually Psychiatrists do better, though. Have you ever done therapy? It might do two things for you: hopefully the therapist would understand (I've been impressed with how well they do), and you would have someone to talk about on how to work on the hopelessness and figure out a reason for you to be alive.
If therapy is not possible, you might find a depression support group in your area. There you would find other people who understand what depression is like. Call your local hospital, ask you pdoc, look in the paper.
Post again here! We understand.
