Can't go on living like this

Living in agony.
When I was younger I was diagnosed with adhd and depression and I left both untreated for roughly ten years. I've recently begun to get help with both of those.
The problem is for the past five-six year's i've been dealing with excruciating abdominal and stomach pains. I've been to several doctor's, diagnosed with acid reflux, ibs (irritable bowel syndrome), self diagnosed myself with lactose intolerant.
I try very hard to watch what I eat, making better life choices, ect.
But some day's my pains are absolutely unbearable. I have to force myself to eat because I know I get sick if I don't. But when you have a lack of appetite, and have an extremely sensitive stomach you don't want to eat in fear of something not agreeing with you.
This has been dragging on for too long, and still not getting much medical help. These pains come and go, they can last for hours to days. Have I mentioned it's absolute hell to go through?
My mom mentioned to get my gallbladder checked, so I did a Google search and it's nearly what i'm going through, plus and minus a couple symptoms.
The past two days have been horrible, doubled over in pain, can hardly move, so I went to emergency. They said i'm dehydrated, well of course I am because I haven't been able to eat or drink because of the pain i've been in. It's taken over my life. How am I supposed to enjoy life if my body won't let me? I can't work, I can hardly go out, it's caused me to isolate myself because I never know when an attack will come. It's caused my depression to get worse.
I'm still trying to get answers, some day's i'd rather die then endure the pain..
It's just an endless circle lately and I can't take it anymore
I have nowhere else to turn..
