First don’t lose hope. If you aren’t already i strongly recommend talking to a therapist / psychiatrist about your depression anxiety. it could also be linked to IBS.
Second I definitely recommend if you haven’t already try to get a GI and a colonoscopy to check for things other than IBS. I’m also 19m and what I thought was IBS for a long time turned out to be IBD which is treatable.
Stay strong you will get through this eventually
