Story I hope that one day they find a cure

[ClownMe]

I sincerely hope that one day there will be a magic pill that cures depression, I know it definitely won't happen in our lifetimes and probably not in the next few lifetimes either, hell, it might never happen, but one can dream I suppose...

It pains me to think that right now, thousands of kids are being born that will grow up and wish they were never born in the first place due to a chemical imbalance in their brains. They will be doomed to follow down the same path as me and (im assuming) lots of other member in this forum, hopeless, trapped, with nothing that can save them.

I've been waking up every morning for close to 10 years now, deflated, defeated and paralyzed. You try and fight it because life requires you to, but that feeling of helplessness stays with you all day until the moment you go to sleep and it's back when you awaken the next day, it's Groundhog Day. The thing that people don't realise about depression like ours is that you're sad during the sad times, you're sad during the alright times and you're even sad during the good times because you're doomed, you've seen the World for what it is and you can't undo it.

I wish I had a magic pill during my teenage years when this all started. Instead, all I got was a bunch of useless medications that I took for months at a time that did nothing for me and slowly broke my spirit down into little pieces, into what I am today.

I wish nobody had to suffer depression, I wish that nobody had to be on this forum and I wish that nobody had to kill themselves to relieve their pain and suffering.

It's just sad.

This made me tear up because I often think and feel the same way. I am so sorry for the shitty hand life has also dealt you. You don't deserve it and honestly no one does. I hope, wish, pray and try to put out whatever vibe into the world for such a pill to exist for others down the line too. While I envy that possibility- I'll be so over the moon even if I ctb before I see the day in this life, that others wont be trapped in their own brain.

I have thought of ending my life since I was 5. (Fucked up world lead to fucked up mind) and I have hated myself everyday since. And being trapped in my head with the cosntant put downs is exhausting.

I hate the pain this world brings.

It seems to me that we as a society actually hold back possible cures that involve psychedelic therapies and such. And we don't want to fund better public health. There is hope for the long-term future, but I'm not sure about us. Hopefully this current period of history will one day be remembered as the dark ages when people could so easily fall through the cracks and be doomed to some primitive self-administered euthanasia.

That is noble of you to think about all the babies who will suffer the same fate.

When you're depressed you don't control your thoughts, your thoughts control you. I wish people understood that.​

The way I see it, the only cure is to bring no more life onto this earth. Non existence is the complete absence of suffering. Depression can be debilitating and those who have not suffered with it will never be able to understand what it is like. I see my depression as a rational response to the circumstances of my life. I'm sorry you are suffering so much.
