I'm exiting an indulgent period of my life...and I know it is and was that, but gods I'm just so fond of what it was.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

At the time when I signed up for this forum, I actually kind of enjoyed being alive. Not a whole lot, but it was better than nothing. The last couple years have crushed my spirit....I had to be put on a very powerful anti-psychotic just to cope with my sad reality. I really don't have anything left at this point, not even my dachshund. I have to wonder if the people around me had any idea how much I was suffering, or if they just couldn't imagine it at all. Either way, they weren't of much help. In fact, their involvement might actually have slowed down my progress. False promises, gaslighting, misguided moral imperatives....Some of them even said it would get better. It never did. If anything, things in my life are in a worse state than ever before. I tried, I did everything I could, everything I was supposed to do, I gave it my all....And I am still not having a good time, nothing even resembling a good time.

You should probably speak with whoever is prescribing the anti-psychotic and let them know that you aren't doing well on it.
That's all I've got. I have tried with you in the past and been burned. I can't expend any more energy on someone who doesn't seem to notice the effort.
Get professional help. None of us here can help you until you help yourself. At this point, helping yourself sounds like asking the right people for assistance.
