Suicidal depression?

Question

I am 15 yrs old and I am going through sucidal depression. It is probably because the doctor said my brother probably won't live for 2 more yrs and we are really close. Could somebody please give me some advise on what to do?

I really need help.

Answer 1

First, you should know, ANY time you have thoughts of suicide, of hurting yourself, or of hurting others, you need to speak with your doctor, a counselor, a clergy member (a priest, pastor, rabbi, etc.), or one of your teachers. Particularly since you're a teenager and most anti-depressants won't be prescribed that early, it's important that you find out what sort of treatment options you have. Just remember that there is NOTHING weird or wrong or weak about getting help. It takes a lot more strength to get better than it does to give up.

Treatment really is the best option for you. Speak to your parents about your brother's prognosis and let them know that YOU are having trouble coping with it. It's completely normal for siblings of terminally ill patients have all sorts of issues to sort through, too, and there are support groups and other resources to help you deal with your particular situation.

Also, try to remember that if your brother only has two years (which is still a ways away, and there have been LOTS of instances of people who have defied the odds; your brother's doctor is not omniscient), you don't want to be spending that time selfishly wanting to end your life, you want to spend it soaking up as much time with your brother as you can. It's difficult to tell on here, but I use the term "selfish" not implying that you're being mean or otherwise improper, but your focus when you're thinking about suicide is about you. YOU will miss him. YOU don't want to go on. If you killed yourself, you would be hurting not only him, but your parents, friends, teachers, neighbors, everyone else who cares about you and your family.

Be strong.

listen to big1_69_7 he said it all, chances are it won't end. I have a friend who lost her mother at 16 and she has one junkie brother that I never met but still torments her and she doesn't live at home. She suffers from major depression and has no one to help her out except me. Her dad is there for her but with money only and never spends more than a few hours with here and there. Most suicide attempts always leave people far worse than before. People usually fail and those that don't fail leave so much grief for the parents and family members. Try to ride out the lows I know this sounds almost impossible but if you fail in suicide then you could end up mangled disfigured if you do succeed you leave so much misery in your wake.
I don't know if this is any help bu go to www.youtube.com and in the search engine type in life after death then about the 5th box down I think Ian Mcartney click on that but there are several interesting topics. The natives believe that life is just a journey and when we die we go into the spirit world. Our body dies but our spirit doesn't. Some of the people talk about the fear I can relate to it because I have been visited before family members would be hurt

Answer 3

A lot of people love you and your dying isn't going to help anything. Don't feel sorry for yourself.
We are all going to die sooner or later. Your brother will have two years (at least) to live and you can help to make it as wonderful as it can be. Enjoy the time, and be strong for him. But don't view it as an ending. It is sad, yes that is true, but his time and yours is a glorious thing and whatever his age, he had that time here with you that will always be.
Life is a glorious thing, as you must know, or your brother's prognosis wouldn't be so troubling to you- it would be a terrible sin for you to squander the life God has given to you also. There are dreams you can realize, maybe in your brothers memory, things you can do in your life that will make things better for someone else. All our days are short- don't throw away what little time we have.
You will go on and time will not ever change the love you know for your brother in death or in life.

The world is in your head. The people in it unfortunatly come and go at some kind of outer forces discretion. I tried to kill myself at your age myself once my grandparents died very suddenly... I still suffer from cronic depression but all you have to realize is depression makes you more in tune with your emotions than the other people who are strictly seeking positive experience.

You have your whole life ahead of you, so why would you want to kill yourself why dont you take the things your brother taught you and use them to better yourself and the world if he dies.

A Majority of the world is all in your head,
its just unfortunate that we cannot save people through thinking incredibly hard about it.

Whatever you do, dont kill yourself hun, because if their is an afterlife, you wont make it there because you tossed away your gift of life before actually getting a real chance to use it to its fullest extent. I hope your brother recovers though...if he doesnt.... just hold that closeness you had with him to your heart and use his memory to better yourself and others every single day and never forget that life is a precious//bizarre//weird//comical gift from beyond the stars.

Answer 5

You need to be on antidepressants if you arent already. Also, what helps me with my suicidal thoughts is, to talk to somebody about how im feeling so they can possibly help reassure me. Things suck so bad in life sometimes and it can affect us emotionally and mentally, and people who are suffering from depression suffer 2 times more.

As if life isnt hard enough already depression has to come into the picture but as long as you have somebody you can talk to aboue how you are feeling you should be ok. communicating with ppl you can trust can be just as helpful as antidepressants and the two together, you should come out fine.

Answer 6

Depression is something every teen goes through, some may be clinicly depressed and others get so sad they force their selfs into.

you should, just spend time with your brother nad make the best of life, and try not to think about it. doctors can be wrong. & you never know what happends in life.
So live it the fullest

:]] and talk to a councler or friends to get your mind of it all.
Your young and you should be happy

Answer 7

Aw im sorry.
Maybe you should not think about it and make the most out of your time with him. Take him to a park or mall. Just get your mind off it. They said my aunt wouldnt live past 30 and she is 50 now so they can be wrong.

Answer 8

First you need to talk with someone. If your not comfortable talking with your parents. Try a councilor at school. There are many websites that can offer assistance.

I am sorry for your brother, but enjoy the remaining time with him it will be the most memorable.
