Please get yourself to a hospital or call a crisis line to find help. Yes there are many medications available to treat depression, but the safest course of action would be to seek medical treatment immediately. That way you can be properly diagnosed and treated and then given options for treatment that would most likely include medication(s).
Please go to the hospital right away or look up your local crisis line. You admit that you need help...that is the first step. Take the next step and get the help you need. If you have friends and family that will understand, ask them for their support as I am sure they don't want to see you suffer like this.
Good luck, my thoughts are with you.

There are medications for depression. There are two groups, the SSRI's and the SRNI. The SSRI's are drugs like Paxil, Lexapro, Loloft, Prozac, etc. There is only one SNRI and that is Effexor. All of these drugs can help with depression. I would also go to therapy. The combination of drugs and therapy work much better then just drugs alone. If you feel like you are going to hurt yourself again you need to either call an ambulance or have someone take you to the hospital. Suicide is never the answer to any problem, no matter what it is.

Like others have said, you should seek out help immediately. If you think you can't wait until morning, call a suicide prevention hotline or go to a hospital.
Committing suicide seems like an easy way out, but it's not. It's a horrible way to leave.
You may need to check yourself into a hospital for awhile. it's possible you'll need both counseling and medication to help level your moods and deal with the issues that you are facing.
Good luck and don't give up!

Have you told a friend or family member? Can you get to mental health facility. There are many good treatments out there to help you to recover, but if you are having these thoughts you should contact someone right away. Call 911, go to the doctor, talk to your pastor. Dying is not the answer. Learning to live is the answer and there are a lot of ways that you can get help. Look in your phone book under mental health and call someone. Even if you don't have insurance most states provide mental health facilities and clinics to people that you can afford. I know, because we found help for our son who was suicidal. Please get some help. The sooner the better.

yes, there are handful of very good medications. Take it exactly as prescribed. It usually takes 3 weeks for the med to start working so don't give up and stop taking it. Paxil is one very good for those with social anxiety, also.

COMMITING SUICIDE IS NO SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM OF DEPRESSION. DO YOU THINK THAT BY KILLING YOUR BODY YOU CEASE TO EXIST AND YOUR DEPRESSION, WHICH IS IN YOUR MIND WILL ALSO VANISH? THERE ARE SEVERAL WAYS TO GET RID OF DEPRESSION. DEPRESSION IS THE STATE OF MIND BUT INTELLECT DOES NOT SUFFER FROM ANY OF SUCH PROBLEMS. USE YOUR INTELLECT AND NOT MIND TO ANALYZE THE REASONS FOR YOUR DEPRESSION. YOU WILL SURELT SEE THAT YOUR DEPRESSION IS NOTHING MORE THAN PHANTOMS OF YOUR IMAGINATION.
ANTIDEPRESSENTS CAN BE USEFUL ONLY TO A LIMITED EXTENT. CONSULT A PSYCHOTHERAPIST TO TREAT YOU AND SUGGEST MILD ANTIDEPRESSENT.
PLEASE DO REMEMBER THAT SUICIDE IS A CRIME AGAINST YOUR OWN SELF.
