Did you already file for disability and get turned down? You can appeal and based on what you are saying, you are truly disabled, probably more so than many others who are on it. Just the weight gain alone from meds is very significant, as I'm sure you know..No one doubles their body weigh without severe health risks.
Who is treating your depression/other med conditons(?)... a psychiatrist, a GP? What meds are you on, how long, doses?
We will help you if you want help since many of us here can identify how low you are feeling since we have been there in some way shape or form ourselves.
Keep talking to us and we'll try and work together to offer solutions, options. You have to try and see one small thing to live for, even if it's a remote memory of something good. How long have you been in your current situation?
The beauty of this website is that from others here we get advice, strength and can offer something to others who are at rock bottom, since many have been there, maybe not exactly, but the thoughts of killing ourselves are the same.
Only people who have depression can truly understand the situation and be supportive. Keep writing to you and let us try and help you if we can...
