Depression: What treatment can I try after so many years?

I am going to my psych appointment today to find out the results of my Genotype. This is my last try at antidepressants as nothing is helping anymore after literally 56 years of dealing with major depressive disorder. I am at the end of my rope. With everything that is going on in the USA, I am just wanting to isolate, and I believe the world is an ugly place. I think about where could I go? At age 70 and being born an American citizen, I am so fearful and will be glad when it is all over and my quality-of-life stinks. I do not believe there is a God so no Bible thumping need reply. Thank you.

Hi Linda, I could have written your post word for word, especially the last sentence, can't offer anything more than support and let you know you are not the only one who feels this way.

I read your reply and closed it. I needed time to thoughtfully reply.
In fact, I had an appointment with my psychiatrist yesterday. Amid a flood of Weeping, I mentioned your letter. I told him how much I empathize with you. I don't want to dismiss you. I want to help you.
I think you are doing a great job of helping yourself.
☆You are advocating for yourself.
☆You are reaching out to others.
☆You're tenacious.
☆Your patience is remarkable.
☆ You're selfless.
☆ You're kind.
☆ You're helpful.
☆ You're valuable.
Thank you!

I am sorry for what you are going through and I am also in your age group and feel the same way...you have a kindred spirit out there.
