>Is it possible to literally live your entire life in a constant state of stress? Is it possible to have permanent stress for literally no reason?
Yes, it's called GAD.

>How do you reduce stress when there's literally no cause of stress?????
You go to a doctor and get medication for it.

I've been diagnosed with depression and left untreated for like 4-5 times now.

How do I convince them that I actually have a problem that needs to be treated, and actually GET treatment?

Go to a different doctor.
If you've been to 3 and they all say the same thing, do what they say.

All of these times were by different professionals and all but one happened when I was a minor.

I'm already in line for a shrink for something else, do you think a physical doctor could prescribe me anything?

Can I just call them like "hello I have permanent stress for no reason, I would like to make an appointment" and get pills?

>All of these times were by different professionals
What kind of professionals? Psychologists aren't doctors, they can't prescribe medication (they can't officially diagnose, order, or prescribe anything).

>I'm already in line for a shrink for something else
What something else exactly? In psychiatry, things are almost never unrelated.

>do you think a physical doctor could prescribe me anything?
Yes, but they tend not to do it unless necessary and with help of psychiatrist (eg insurance will only cover 3 meetings a year with psych so the GP prescribes the meds between those meetings).

>Can I just call them like "hello I have permanent stress for no reason, I would like to make an appointment" and get pills?
Nope, they'll send you to a psychiatrist.

I was supposed to get into gender reassignment treatments but the process is being halted while I'm being assigned a shrink because I cut myself, but it's taking a long time for them to find one, and the whole process being halted makes me really, really, really want to cut myself.

I'm guessing your life situation right now is causing this, you have plenty of stress without even getting into problems like GAD.

Even if you've had this problem since childhood, it's hard as hell to fix when there's other shit going on, which makes it impossible to distinguish the external stress from any internal issue.
Gotta get that done first.

>Gotta get that done first.
I'm trying and trying as hard as I can but every time I call them they tell me they are doing their best and there is nothing I can do now but wait.

Trying not to kill myself becomes harder every day and I'm starting to run out of straws to grasp.
