I need help. Deep, dark depression. Tried many meds. I come out of it for a short bit , which I think are some hypomanic phases , then I go back into depression for long periods of time. I’m alone

It's ok if you don't see a way out now. You will find it but until then you have to just ride it out. It's painful but you can endure it. It will pass. Do you have children? I compare this to labor. Feels like you're going to die but eventually it's over and you're ok.
I just don’t see a way out. So many problems. Yes I take meds but they don’t seem to help much at all.
Are you taking meds? Sounds like you need some help. I've been where you are. Weeks where I can hardly get out of bed and life seems unbearably black, empty. It's so isolating and lonely. I remember the shame too. You don't need to feel ashamed here. We understand because we feel like that too at times. Talking helps. Don't give up because I PROMISE you that there's better days ahead. It WILL eventually pass. It may return again but you won't be as hopeless because now you'll know it's not forever.
Don't stop trying. This condition is so hard and maybe you feel like it will never end or nothing helps, but if you're reaching out for help you've already made huge progress. It took me about 3 years of therapy and trying different meds before I could even see a light at the end of the tunnel. You slowly learn tools to help you cope. My life is still very challenging but I feel stronger now and I KNOW better than to feel hopeless.
@canoli thank you. I am feeling hopeless. Unable to do anything most every day. Just stay home alone in bed. I can barley eat. I am forcing myself to drink water. I just don’t want to be here because I have zero purpose. Can’t take care of myself, I have a son that mainly stays with his Dad because he is noticing my huge decline. I’m so ashamed
Have you tried therapy at all? It has helped me with mine that's why I'm asking. Sometimes learning about some of the things that can cause it by foods and other things may help you also. Hope I helped
@Sadiladi yes I have tried therapy several times. I can’t get any relief. Thanks for reaching out to me
