I've had many dreams during my life, none of which have come true. That doesn't mean that I, nor should anyone else, give up trying. If I can just make one dream come true, I will be happy. Life, for the most part, is not about getting everything we want. Some people are able to have everything they want. But, it doesn't mean that we give up.

I used to suffer from severe depression when I was a teenager, I understand what it's like to be suicidal. However, I am a Christian and thankfully, God has gotten me through that dark period.
There are some things that we can do to change our circumstances and one is to start finding things to be thankful for. Another is to learn to forgive others when they wrong you, talk about a freeing experience, and change your diet. Get off the refined flour, sugar, high carbs add in some protein and good fats and in a matter of days the depression starts to lift.
I speak from experience. It's not always easy, but it is possible.
