Medication isn't to help you continue a pointless life. It's to help you combat the lies your brain is telling you that your life *is* pointless. Depression lies.
You've been posting more here lately, and you've helped me and I've seen you help others. Even if that's all the people you've ever helped, and I really doubt that's true, your life hasn't been pointless. Your life touches the lives of others. To me, that is the point of life.
If your therapist can't help you, if she's not doing what you need right now, it's ok for you to insist that she do what she needs to do. If medication will help you hold on right now, it may not be the total answer but it will give you time to find the answer or answers.
Give her a chance to come through for you, if you're more clear about what is going on with you and what you need her to do.
