Guys I am looking for some advice from people who have been through serious case of depression and have moved on, the difficulties you have had and how you coped with them.

In the past year or so I have been getting very depressed, more so in the last 9 months where I have gone through three jobs. Depression has bothered me my whole life but only to the last year or so did I realize I am depressed. (I am 24.) The hardest part about this is the fact that I have been going to the doctor and medication so far, has not worked. It is ruining my life, my fiances life, and my work life.

There are days when I get up and I don't even want to get out of bed, take a shower, etc do your normal tasks. I just want to curl up in a ball in the corner and die. Then the next day I can wake up, and be ready to go and do everything.

There has been a few times where I have been close to committing suicide and I don't see myself alive much longer if I keep this up. It's very frustrating to me because I know I need to get motivated, I know I need to work, I know I need to do all these sorts of things. But my mind is telling me not to, I get so worked up and tired just from trying to tell myself to get going. I am also extremely hard on myself about everything.

Currently taking Fluoxetine

I have been a member here for over 6 years and from time to time I seen some posts like this so I am sure some of you, or family members have gone through it. How did you cope with it, what did you do? Therapy? What medication? Just looking for any last advice, I don't know what else to do or try.
