While there may be some truthful statements in this post, the fact remains that "we" as a society could actually care less whether or not "I" live or die. Depression, anxiety, and all of the problems that people come here with are very personal matters, stemming from very personal situations, and all of us need very personal care, be it with medication, therapy, or a mixture of the two.
The picture you paint is of a world so dark and gloomy that it could depress even the most healthy mind. I thank God that my medication was working when I read it.
I'm sure you think that you have helped somebody here by posting this. I am not going to assume that you haven't, but, as for me, I need to tell you this: The drugs DO work, the therapy DOES work, and the world as not as horrible a place as you make it out to be. You are only one person, with one opinion, like any of us, and let's leave it at that.
I've already taken close to a half an hour's focus off of my life, thinking about what you have written. No theraputic value there for me.
