Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Was wondering if could provide me with sort of advice on depression? I have been going through depression now for what I would 5 years now and it keeps getting worse. For the past couple to three months now I have been contemplating suicide. Part of me wants to end it all but there is another part of me that wants to go on, I do not know why. I am physically handicapped from a work related accident. I am capable of doing things for myself but on occasions I need help with house chores. No body I know wants to help me not even my parents. There was a time when they liked me when I provided help for them, now that I need them they tell me that they do not want to help because I am a crimp and are embarrassed of me. So the only thing I can think of right now is to end it all, my main method is a .38 Mag. I do not know why I am asking for help but for some reason would like some advice.
Please forgive me for bothering you, but would appreciate help.

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely advice you not to confuse between depression and disappointment. Yes, you are disappointed due to what god had given you. But there is always room for positive thinking. I am a person without two legs and a finger. I found a course suitable for me and studied. I am now a clinical psychologist and am able to discharge my duties without having to get up from my chair. There are difficulties. But I am satisfied and am more and more thrilled to help others. Imagine a person without two legs and a finger helping others to stand erect in their life. Ironic. That is life. Take heart. Nothing is lost.
If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.
Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications. Good luck.
