Struggling with Depression and Disabilities

My depression and many other illness/disabilities make me want to off myself, but I know that I'm here for a reason... and anxiety won't let me off myself anyway. But it mentally and physically hurts to exist. I feel really alone and stick in this endless loop. The only thing that's helping is my bipolar 2 meds that help my major swings and therapy... but the therapy is once per month. I'd love more people to become friends with so I don't feel so alone.

There are many resources that I've heard of besides just a therapist, you may want to check out certain apps like better help or telehealth therapy if you can't get frequent therapist visits, I'm not sure the effectiveness, but it may be worth a try.

I've been there and it sucks to hear that you're there right now. Have you asked your therapist to change the time between your sessions? They're usually quite flexible as long as you book ahead. There's also the 988 hotline, which has people available to chat at any time, even if you're just feeling lonely.
