I've been struggling for over ten years with what I suspect is depression. I'm 29 now, and for a long time, death was something I constantly thought about, though I never went through with any plans because I couldn't bear the thought of hurting my dad. That frustration was tough. Lately, I've stopped thinking about ending it all, but I still feel like the desire to live is gone. Nothing makes me happy, and even when I'm around others, I feel incredibly alone and often find myself on the verge of tears. It's like I'm sad all the time, and small things really hurt me. I'm having a hard time accepting quarrels and fights within my family. Is this something that can be helped? Should I be seeking specific advice or treatment?
