I've also been suffering +20 years with mental illness without and yeah there are a LOT of times when I just had no hope. Like every couple of weeks I get frustrated and angry and despondent if a change in my meds doesn't pan out. But I've seen people here with the same symptoms and conditions I have who get better, so I kept hoping. I know I'm not alone with this and I believe there are meds that can help me. It's not a hell of a lot but it is something to hold on to. I choose to stay and battle it out, if not for me then for the few people I know who love and care about me. There's a huge number of people in this world who are worse off and don't have this choice. After such a long time with minimal treatment response and an increase in the severity of my illness, the meds I'm on now are definitely making me better.

It is true that this disease changes you for the better mostly. A lot of stuff I didn't really notice or understand before I tend to now. If one day we do rejoin the land of the living then I think we're going to be better at it than most people.

All I can tell you is find the things that make you feel alive and hopeful and cherish them. Like music or films or just sitting on a park bench and watching people go by. Every second that we're alive, even if we're in pain, is a gift. Even though life gets so small that there's seemingly nothing left, there still is something there.You will find the treatment that can get you better. And if you're partial to this stuff - maybe believe everything you've gone through happened for a reason and you're going to be a better person for it and get back much more than you lost
