Excuse my french but your nurse is a certified twat. His ignorance is offensive. Functional does not mean not depressed. I can't believe these are the professionals that come up with this stuff. I'd ask to see their credentials.
Is there anywhere else you can go for help? I know you are losing the will to see a point/live but just know you can keep talking here all you want. You are being heard.

Honestly be thankful you have a family that loves you enough for you to worry about how they were to cope after you transitioned.
Some of us have no family or friends or have a very tumultuous relationship with the family members we have to the point where we know they wouldn't necessarily care if we decided to end it.
I can imagine if you are loved on this earth than those that you will leave behind will be very sad. Their hearts may never heal and they will carry the onus of devastation with them perhaps for the rest of their lives.

You are a lot more than a list of diagnosis, your life is more than that. Can you describe what you feel or what your life or a day is like- what you do and what things actually bother and upset you? Then perhaps you could perhaps get some useful advice and coping strategies as many people here deal with these same things. While there may not be "cures" and meds are more helpful for some than others (particularly depending on compliance and use of alcohol or drugs at the same time that drastically effect the efficacy of drugs and therapy both) all know different ways that make things alittle bit more bearable sometimes. Just a Dx really does nto give anything for anybody to be able to offer actual helpful advice....
I wouldn't know where to start,there's the chronic depression that gives me suicidal thoughts all day every day,plus my ocd which has pretty much completely ruined my career as a mechanic,it's left me with absolutely zero self esteem,my friends give me grief for being so miserable but the truth is nobody has a bigger dislike for me than what I do,I try my hardest not to talk about suicide to my family as I know how upsetting it is but in reality I never really stop thinking about it even when I'm doing something else the thoughts are there I'm so dis functional have no confidence to do anything and no real skills,I try and comfort myself by telling myself life is only temporary but when I think how many years I could have left it terrifys me,I find myself going to bed every night and dreaming of euthanasia a pretty sad story really
I don't know if it helps to know that you are not the only one. I feel tortured by my mind everyday. Even though it seems hopeless, the only thing that I know to do is to keep trying to get help. My body keeps functioning fine, though my mind is so seriously disturbed. I always feel like I can't take it anymore, but my miserable life continues and the mental torment never ends.
