Is there no hope for some people?

I have autism & suffer from severe depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, substance abuse & suspected borderline personal disorder. I have suffered with these for 5 years now, that may not seem so long but that being said I'm only 17. I've been on every antidepressant that can be legally prescribed in the UK, as well as multiple sleep medications & an antipsychotic. Non of these seem to have helped me very much. I've tried CBT, DBT and family therapy and they haven't helped me either. I haven't been in education properly since I was 13. Things seem to get progressively worse everyday, and I feel as though I have tried literally everything, but nothing seems to work. I've struggled with self harm for years and had multiple suicide attempts. I'm at a point in my life now where I ask myself is it even worth it? That nothing makes me feel better, and everyday is just a battle that I don't even want to fight anymore. I know this must be morbid, but does anyone think that maybe some people just aren't meant to get better? That life isn't meant for everybody?

    You can always get better and there is always hope. What's causing you to have severe depression?

      Thats my issue, there is no real cause for the way that I am or the way that I feel.

      Same as you I used to suffer from severe depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties. There was a time in my life where I wanted to end my own life on many occasions. . I’m a guy and I used to cry myself to sleep. Crying and thinking about how ima end my own life. I used to have severe acne, I was overweight and I had nothing going on for me. I tried to find a job and was turned down more than 20 times I felt hopeless. I was broke didn’t have friends nothing. I was alone not even my family can understand what I was going through. I used drugs even though I know it was temporary that the pain won’t go away but for a lil moment it did So I used. That was 6 years ago. And now I can tell you it will get better. You just have to keep on fighting and don’t give up. My life is the opposite of this now, but everynow and then I would relapse and have flashback of how hopeless I was. I can tell you right now I fought through it all by myself So I know you can too. Stay Strong.
