Depression and suicide ideation

I have suffered from severe depression and suicide ideation for most of my life. In the last 10 years or so it has become much worse. To date I have tried, unsuccessfully to end my life on 6 occasions. I face a daily struggle to find reasons to live. Can anyone help me find more/new reasons please?

Hey Jampa and welcome to Scope 🤗
This brought a tear to my eye. Yes, I felt that way through most of my life - puberty onwards - until I realised it wasn't normal and most other people didn't have those feelings. It led to an autism diagnosis in my 50's. I had always suspected my depression was linked to food and it turns out it was.
You are never alone with a community like this one.

Hi @Jampa How are you doing? I have not noticed you posting recently. How are you coping with this hot weather? Not a fan myself.
Any time you want a chat we are always here.
Please take care of yourself.

I've lost count. First time was at 11 years old.
Never saw hope for the future...
Now I'm almost 46, been through more stuff than I'll ever let on, and in a wheelchair. Although my life is far from perfect, I'm glad I never succeeded.
I don't know how old you are, but look what this old gadgy did today -
Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It may not feel temporary, but I wouldn't be having such a great time now if I'd succeeded all those times.
Maybe think about getting a pet, a cat or a dog. At darker times, my cat was the only reason I got out of bed.
