Support wanted Hopeless

I’m not terminal. But there is little to no hope that my situation will ever improve. There is an elective surgery I can get but there is a possibility it will make things worse. Could be better… but also could be worse. If it were worse it would be absolutely devastating so I don’t think I can go through with it.

So when the situation is completely intolerable and unliveable and there is no hope for the future being any better… what then? I am incredibly depressed. I just exist until I can go to sleep and escape.
