I have the utmost sympathy for people that choose to end their own life. I know how hard it must have been for somebody to ultimately make that decision.

My sympathies to you Kyle - I've suffered from bouts of depression over the years, but these were specific to **** I was going through at the time, were short-lived, and nothing like what I imagine you must go through from what you describe. I don't suffer from it as such, but I have been surrounded by it all my life, because my Uncle (43) committed suicide after secretly suffering depression all his life, and my older brother has suffered from it too all his life, and has made several suicide attempts. Two attempts, which were 'superficial', were really 'cries for help', but one was fully intended and he was only saved by a stroke of luck.
In my brother's case, nothing seems to be able to help him, but his prescribed medicines do seem to alleviate its symptoms.
Good luck in coping mate and I wish you well.
