lost, I am so sorry you feel this way and I can somewhat relate.
Have you REALLY given AA, therapy, meds, etc a real working chance? Be honest now.

The only other option to trying until something works (and trying smarter) is to give up. You're posting here for help so you already realise giving up is a crappy option and you have the courage to keep fighting.

Because try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try try Succeed! Is the brave way forward and you are doing that right now.
