Am I missing something?
I cant seem to understand the world around me, and I feel like Im rapidly losing my grip on reality. Ive been in therapy and on medications for depression for years, but nothing helps ease the pain of knowing that life itself is awful. I wonder if I am missing the point of being alive. Looking to know if others feel this way.

Sorry you are going through this. Has your therapist tried to switch things up? I know that my therapist is doing CBT and DBT with me. Another thing that I was reading about is ACT. You might want to ask your therapist if you can switch things up and that things aren't working currently. Another idea is you can always change to a different therapist that does want to work with you.

Thank you for the advice, but Ive seen multiple therapists/psychiatrists over the years and tried many different medications and therapies, including a partial hospitalization program. I feel like nothing has truly worked.
