I don’t know how to escape

I'm a new member to this sight but have been using it for awhile now just scrolling through threads. I've gone through a lot and find no meaning in living. I was diagnosed with depression and put on medication unfortunately my depression can not be cured with pills or therapy and I don't understand why I'm living just to suffering. I attempted to overdose and unfortunately failed and just threw up all day. I tried hanging but had difficulties with tightness and length. I'm not sure what to do anymore I really want out I feel no joy or anything I can't even cry anymore I don't wanna live this life anymore where I just constantly suffer and pretend to be ok

Human life is an overly complex, stressful and meaningless experience. It's unfortunate that there are so many people giving birth that don't realize this.

I'm upset that I was given this life to live

Your life is just beginning! It's not true that your depression can't be treated. Ask for a different medication, ask for counselling. You're way too young to give up now ! There IS help out there!

I've tried! We've done the pills we've done therapy and this and that since I was about 12. I'm tired

Treatment for mental illness is very complicated. Most of the medications have debilitating side-effects. So yeah, you really need to visit a bunch of psychiatrists and find out which medication, in combination with therapy works best for you, but there is often the case of treatment resistant depression too.
