Hey. I realized it is soon to be my fifth year suffering with mental illness. I don't think I have had a single happy day in that whole time. I have not been able to works and barely ever see any friends. My family is fairly supportive though. I have tried so hard to get better, and have seen psychologist, psychiatrists, and therapists. I have taken drugs and not taken drugs. I have told myself over and over to just keep going and it will get better, but after five years I'm completely exhausted and disharteaned. I don't want to have to go through this anymore. I have been trying everything and can sincerely say I'm doing the best I can and it just seems like this impossible force to overcome. How can I stay strong enough to keep going when this illness has worn me down so completely?
