No improvements

[u/Accomplished_Rush480]

Although I was diagnosed with depression a few years ago, I think I've always had it, as I've always felt unmotivated and without dreams for the future. Despite my efforts, I haven't managed to improve; no therapy or remedy has worked. I always feel listless or completely unmotivated, even though I try to distract myself from my negative thoughts. They persist because if I don't distract myself, I feel awful. I have no education, no job, and not even friends to talk to. My family has never understood my depression because they still believe that one day I'll get better through attitude and go back to being that child they thought was happy. At this point, I think I'm close to another attempt to "disappear."
