Dude, yours is an incredibly horrendous case of depression. I have been where you are. Mayby not quite as far, but I pretty much have an idea. Ever if my depressions are not so treatment - resistant, I get a good picture of the place you are now. I could tell you many things to cheer you up, but I know that they won't have any lasting effect on you, since when one has a depression as severe as yours, positive things are extremely difficult, or mayby impossible to view. You do have a number of issues going on in your life, and the lack of support from your family is not helping at all. Anyway, it sounds to me that you have a huge problem of chemical imbalance. You have to be aware that it is a physical ailment as serious as, say, diabetes and that it is not your fault. Your priority right now is to restore that balance, so you can confront your life issues with a cool head, and, believe me, you do have a bright, creative, lucid and vivid mind. You shure know how to write, plus, you are a musician. We depressives have very often artistic minds.;)
It sounds to me like your pdoc doesn't have a clue of the nature of the case he's facing, nor that he cares too much about you. ¿Forgetting the medications he's prescribing you? God! Been there, seen that. I tell you as one that you should change you doctor ASAP. Your combo is not working and he's not doing anything about it. Having a disabled pacient equals to failing miserably at his job. Changing doctors can really make the difference in your treatment. You're SO obviously taking medications that are not working. ¿Have you tried mood stabilizers like Tegretol or Trileptal, for instance? Talk to a real doctor and make him/her tell you about all the possibilities. Make him explain everything to you in detail. It's your health what is at stake and you have the right to know. Don't let them treat you like an ignorant.
I could write a lot more to you, but I'll stop for today. We have to take one step at the time. I'll only tell you that life has a lot of surprises around the corner, and that it's worth the pain and effort to stay and see what misterious presents are there waiting for you to find them. PLEASE stay and perform your entire movie. Believe me, it's worth the pain.
Lots of support.
Lex Luthor.
