Hello
Thanks for using health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and feel that you are suffering from a depressive disorder.
I understand that you did not have much luck with your doctor but treatment of depression is possible and there are plenty of different types of drugs. Even if one drug has not helped you even then there are plenty of other drugs which may help you.
Keep faith and have patience.
Thanks and regards

Hi,

Often family members are not able to understand what a depressed person is going through. Ask your doctor to talk to them about your problem, and try to make them understand so that they can be more supportive. Also ask your doctor to refer you to a psychiatrist so that a proper assessment can be made and you can be put be put on appropriate medicines. Once treatment is started, you will be much better within a few weeks. Please avoid being alone and share your thoughts with others. It helps.

Best wishes.
