I feel seriously ill, not sure how to even take the next step... reaching out in hope....
I am not suicidal, yet I know what you just know...
It took many years to slow down enough to stop living like this is how life is now... I broke through the pain, saw a reason to live... not continue till I drop... over and over now for 7 years. I just don't know how to keep myself together after I accepted everything, I wish it could be like having a split personality take over and adjust without the past life I can only hold onto for a few moments, rest is now the primary focus over exertion, yet I almost can't do that... it's been 7 years, I want to have my life back, something I know can't be again. I tried on my birthday, Dec 13th. It may have caused a lot more problems that day, they may have been in my life already and I blindly managed to avoid the severity till now...
What next is the question, i'm ready to make progress... I know for sure how to fix my problem quickly, its the long term solution I am not sure I can deal with. Family and friends have abandoned me, its myself I fear losing now!

It is very, very hard to be sick for a long time, its hard to adjust to the changes we have to make, and we don't always like them, but the answer or 'fix" you're talking about is not the solution. Do you see a Therapist for your Depression, if so can you contact him/her and let them know whats going on?
Even though its hard, if you have the proper support you can do it...sometimes its day to day, some days are better than others, but you can do it. I've been in Pain Management for 31 years now...so long I don't really remember much of what my other life was like.
Please contact someone regarding your depression and suicidal thoughts. Those are definitely things you don't want to carry with you from day to day.
Take care and be safe,

Try to find something that brings you some pleasure in your day. Hobbies are hugely important. So is getting out of the house when possible. Do not isolate yourself. Tell people how you are feeling. Get someone to talk to if you don't have anyone yet. Good luck
