I have attempted suicide multiple times, I've been in a mental hospital, I've tried every medication on the planet, etc. So, I've lived it. It sucks. But I didn't start really working on it until I got sober and later when I met my wife. It started with weekly therapy, then trying different depression medications, then moving and trying a new therapist and doctor. Dealing with depression spells that would last for months, etc. But it wasn't until I was finally correctly diagnosed as Bipolar 2, that it finally started getting better. This is my story. If it helps one of you with your depression, then it was worth it. National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline: Dial 988
