Phillipa,
I've been visiting this forum for at least 5 years and read your posts from time to time and value your contributions. You don't always seem down like this, but I can't read your mind so only you know if it has always been like this. I'm only 30 years old and I get days that are just rough to get through and I don't have nearly as many other problems, so I can only imagine what you go through.
My advice is that you may very well have a long life ahead of you at 61 (as other posters have said) and there are new meds coming down the pipeline that are truly different than the current meds. They won't be here in a year or two, but maybe 5 or 10 years. I've found that a good month is worth 10 months of suffering. It's what I live for. I know that good month will come around sooner or later and I'll realize why I fight so hard once the fog lifts. Keep fighting and your month or year (or rest of your life) of being happy more than you are sad will come along. Just having emotions makes you human. But dealing with emotions like this and persevering is superhuman. You've managed to be a superwoman this long. Keep going!
