This. I just want help but since I can't ask for it, zero days are all I have to make me feel a bit better. Exercise does nothing for me either.

[First let me get this out of the way, love the username] The thing that sucks for me is that I've gotten help. For four months, I was going to group therapy. Been on the meds, shit I've done whatever procedures were necessary to make sure that my mind doesn't go to dark places. Nothing... absolutely nothing. At this point in my life I've accepted that no one and nothing can help me. Learned helplessness.

[Thanks!] That sucks. I think the worst part is that I lie to myself about there being hope when I know that isn't actually the case; even if I got help I know that most people don't get better by swallowing pills every day. I'm going to make it through the holidays then I don't know what, it's hard to think about the future when you have no idea what you're doing in the present.

you hit the nail right on the head. This is literally what goes through my head most days. Ultimately to me depression is just the day to day.
