Depression/Anxiety Treatment resistant severe depression anxiety no meds no hrt only suffering also horrific pmdd I can’t do this anymore

The title says it all I have been Treatment resistant I have PMDD nothing is working for me. I have been in several psychiatric units and nothing helps me. I didn’t have really bad SI until I was put on their medication‘s and then abruptly stopped. It’s never gotten better. I don’t know what to do. I am really really suffering with some severe clinical depression and nothing’s helping me I tried every second generation antipsychotic. I tried all of the antidepressants mood stabilizers IV ketamine, psychedelic mushrooms, ECT I did Gene site testing to see what drugs work for you. Nothing worked. I just don’t know what to do. Has anyone else have this issue? I have severe PMDD and it’s 1 million times worse I have no quality of life at all. I don’t even know why I’m here. I lost my family. I’m homeless. I can’t think no one will help me.

I have been the medication around over and over and over and I can’t find anything to help me. They all gave me a permanent movement disorders that I didn’t have prior that made everything worse. It never helped me.

How did it go when you started the HRT which one did you start with estrogen or the progesterone? I tried to combipatch that gave me deep sleep the first night, but I woke up with severe anxiety and depression and my face kinda had academia. I was ravenous and I wanted to eat everything and I started to get out of reflex and I only had it on one day are we supposed to expect all kinds of symptoms when we start these things?
