Long-term depression

I've been feeling depressed for a long time and have come to a point where I don't even feel I can smile anymore. People i've reached out to have more or less told me to go elsewhere and, on the occasion i've tried to get in touch with them, have even just completely ignored me without an acknowledgement. I don't feel i'm being unreasonable in that I give people space, am never imposing and do my best for anyone who asks for my help. I'm scared though that things aren't going to change for me and I can see that life is passing me by.

Sounds like things are really difficult for you at the moment, how are you feeling now? Thanks for sharing here a bit about whats been going on for you, it's really positive that you're looking for some help for yourself here. Seems really hard for you that the people you've reached out to have more or less told you to go elsewhere or ignored you. Who have you reach out to in the past?
What makes you say that you're scared that things aren't going to change for you?
