My last attempt was about 10 years ago. It started to dramatically improve about a year later, then another year saw more improvement, and so on. Eventually I got on the right antidepressant and honestly my life is pretty freaking good now. Hell, I’m about to be a dad.
You could not have convinced me it would get better a decade ago.
Dumb luck saved me. Please don’t be like me back then.
I would look at resources in your area. If there is a prevention hotline where you live, they can usually offer better advice than I can.
Outside of that, what really helped me was accepting that my brain was trying to attack itself, and that I needed to be aware it was fucking with my perception of reality.
If your brain is doing bad chemistry, sometimes meds are the only thing that can help. I forget to take mine sometimes, and when I do it is usually a week before the old feelings start coming back. Talk to a doctor.
Unfortunately it’s not a joke. You’re probably right but it doesn’t feel like it today.

I’m not sure what to do, really. It would be great if things did start improving.

Been there. You start regretting it half way down
