Don't give up. I was suicidal at 15 and, at 45, still grieve the carefree youth I didn't get to have, but am grateful for the love and joys I found as the years went by. So you have to believe that this too shall pass. It did for me, and I believe it will for you. It never goes away, (at least not at this stage of knowledge), but it can come under a lot of control. I'll tell you what helped me: little by little, I got one doctor or another to believe the pain that this was causing me and try to do something about it. It took a long time before finding one single doctor who could put it all together, and I'm still not entirely sure of her. But the piecemeal medications brought a lot of symptoms under a degree of control that I could live with. You are just starting out on a voyage that will take you, one step at a time, towards help. Even posting on this site is one of those steps. There's lots of new information growing out there about this syndrome, and there is finally a network for bringing up together, to support and inform each other. Hang in there. And any time you need to ask something or to be told that you're not alone and things are not totally hopeless and there are people who understand and BELIEVE you, or any time you just need to scream...we're here.
