It's my birthday today, I'm 25. I hardly share anything personal about myself on here, but I am quite happy today. You are seeking counseling and advice, so I can hardly give you any wisdom that you already have heard.
I do remember being 21, and I only remember how wonderful it was. You're going through a difficult time, maybe it's a lasting very long, but I don't think the solution is to end it. Is suicide selfish? I don't really have a reasonable answer, there are so many questions people want to ask after someone does it to find out why, it's just such a sad and horrible thing to discuss. There is so much a person will miss out on if they kill themselves. You'll never hear the latest music from your favorite band, never know how many sequels to Austin Powers there really are, never knowing all of interesting and things. Think of everything you'll miss out on before contemplating suicide. There are a lot of other places in this world that suffer differently and mange to hold on.
I don't know the specifics of your illness, it is none of my business. However, I do think that whatever you believe in, it was not that you are intended to take your own life. You were given the chance of life for a purpose, potential a great and magnificent one. Don't take that away from yourself, believe that you are strong enough to overcome this obstacle and you'll be able to handle each day as it comes. Depression is just a disability built as a challenge. I know people that have pulled though it; the hardest part was talking about it.
I probably haven't made complete sense here, but don't worry, I won't bother you about this. Suicide should not be your answer.
