That's sounding the way I felt a few months ago. If you go through the archives you'll see that around May/June of this year, I was suicidal and miserable and couldn't see the point of going on with so much pain.
Guess what? It can get better. Sometimes it takes that one last effort to fight with the idiot doctors, or the wretched insurance company, or whatever.
Please use the support you can get here or in your community. That doesn't mean the hospital, unless that's what it takes for you, just check around for a support group. Find out if there's a Depressive Manic Depressive Association group locally, or a Manic Depressive Depressive Association group. My county has both. Try the NAMI.org site for information, or try a search engine.
Please, trust me that I mean what I say: the amount of support and caring I got from the group I went to made it possible for me to keep going just a little longer. It's still rough, but I'm still here! Stay until we can get to know you a little, and see what develops? 'K?
My heart is going out to you, for the pain you're in right now.
