I have been depressed for about 8 years now and nothing seems to help. I have tried talking with psychiatrists and anti-depressants, but still feel helpless. Everyday is a struggle and I am constantly thinking of ways to end everything. I just don't know what else to do...

What exactly is the cause of depression ?

What happened 8 years ago? How were you before you started to feel this way?

Are you or were you married?

I have never been married. 8 years ago I had a miscarriage and have had two more since. My doctors tell me I won't ever be able to carry a pregnancy full term. As long as I can remember I have only ever wanted to be a wife and a mother and I feel as though neither will ever happen. I know what everyone says that there are other ways to become a mother, but it's not the same. I feel like less of a woman and don't know how to trust someone enough to tell them. The last person I told I had been dating for 6months and when I told him he left. I still see him at work and he looks right through me like he never knew me. I feel incredibly lonely.

Do you have parents, other relatives, friends?
