Your family and those who love you take priority - you'd crush them if you ever decided to end your life and they would bear that burden for the rest of their lives. I myself have suffered severe depression and it recurs from time to time though with being older now I know how to deal with it better but there are no easy cures. It is indeed an ordeal of pain and suffering. There are 2 pieces of advice I have for you:

-go and see your doctor, you can get medication that helps a lot - I've been on it for 11 years

-take just one day at a time, all you have to do is get through to the end of the current day
