Suggest Remedy For Depression And Suicidal Tendency

Can a person be emotionally damaged to such an extent that help is not possible? I get tired of hearing that life will get better and suicide is never the answer but I disagree. I attempted suicide in college and 12years later, I am not grateful that I survived. I am so screwed up and know I'm not worth saving. I hate myself and I'm OK with that. Quick history: 31yr old divorced female. Sexual abuse, cutter, abusive ex husband, drug addict. Basically I graduated college as a people pleasing perfectionist that hid my depression from everyone except. My doctor and somehow turned into the disappointment I am today. I can't get better and don't deserve to be better. Am I correct that I'm just too damaged?
