Besides Psycho-Babble, what support systems do you have in place?
I can understand desperation.
I am lucky in that I have several people that I can call on when things become difficult.
Sometimes, the best support can come from social services and organizations that specialize in supporting the mentally ill. You can't do it all by yourself. If you could, you wouldn't be here talking about buying a gun.
Try to rely on uncertainty. Uncertainty allows for hope. You cannot be certain that you will feel this bad indefinitely. You cannot be certain that you will not find a successful treatment for your illness. You cannot be certain that you will never be able to build a life for yourself that is organized, rewarding, and brings happiness. Uncertainty is your friend at times like this.
