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.
