Yes, it is true: You certainly are still young and can get help to improve your mood and still live a long healthy life. I would encourage you to find a good therapist. If you need medication as weel, get evaluated for medication. You can turn things around, but it will take some work on your part. When the glass appears half empty try to see how it is half full, too.
