Fuck everything. I try so hard to show I care and work hard. But no one cares. Life is a fucking joke. And no one will ever truly care about me.

Nothing good is ever going to happen for me and my brain is broken

I care about you. It might sound stupid when we don't know each other personally but it's true. Sounds like you've been let down by someone that should have shown more appreciation, but that's their problem and not a fault of yours. There is much beauty in the world, you just have to find what it is for you. PM me, any time, please.
Check out the life coach school podcast OP, our brains are trash and sometimes they need rewiring
I understand you bro, I feel exactly the same as you.
If you need to talk, you cand PM me.
We are here for you.
I feel the same buddy, but you've gotta keep going through it, if not for yourself then for the people around you
Indeed.
Don't forget selfcare.
Doubtful.
Indeed.
This is hypothetical nonsense from your depressed brain.

OP
I just don't understand why I am like this... I have been in therapy for months, tried 2 different medications, and I still am overwhelmingly depressed and anxious about everythijg in my life. I just get so sad sometimes and I don't know how to fix it. And I go to work and think everyone else must have it all together and that I'm built wrong and won't ever truly be normal.
It took going through 3 types of meds and 2 dosage adjustments before a close family member of mine could finally sleep at night and help with her depression.
Keep working at it.
I noticed it was hard for her to see beyond the issues she was facing at the time, but if you keep working at it, things will get better. I told her it doesn't take much time to mess things up, but it takes time to fix them.

I had to try...6(?) different medications before I found one that worked for me.
Statistically speaking, there is someone in your office who thinks you have it all together and they don't.
I used to feel like this. I don't know when or how it happened, but I've become more fascinated by how things go wrong in my life than bothered by it now.
This is me now when something goes wrong.

Whenever I tell someone I have anxiety and depression, 99 times out of 100 they're shocked.
People can hide things very well.
Do you work in an office, and is there a cleaning crew or security guard for the building?

You're right. I am just very nervous right now. I am a contractor and got an email that another contractor got hired full time today. So it's really making me doubt myself and wonder why I can't be hired. I work very hard and go above and beyond.

That's one way of looking at it, but I sort of carved out my own niche.
Has your therapist talked to you about how to look at anxiety and methods of tackling it? I like to ask myself "why do I even have anxiety thinking about this subject/task?", in a way take myself out of the situation, looks at it from the outside and objectively, and try to make myself realize this fear/anxiety makes no sense. The whole connection between Thought -> Feeling is what I like to look at first. Obviously some medication will take the edge of if it's very serious that you have little to no control over a situation. Did you try nonstimulant for anxiety?
Ah, so you might get the joy of doing it again with a totally new thing!
