It took medication for me. I still have urges to kill myself, but I'm able to control it. Please talk to a medical doctor.

Truthfully, several times very shortly before I got to the point where I knew that I would, I checked myself into a hospital. In the long term, several things kept me going.
1) silly as it sounds, my faith. First of tall, according to my faith, God is not a remote God far away, but one who has suffered everything that we have suffered, not only in experiencing with us what we are going through now, but in His own descent into humanity, suffering, death, and resurrection. For whatever reason, God chose to give me life, and now I realize that I could never even begin to give back to Him anything remotely like that gift, if I revoked it myself.
2) My music. I am a pianist and a flutist. Whether you are a musician yourself, or a music lover, just keep listening and playing. Be careful with this though,and choose music that won't worsen your mood and perception.
3) Your thoughts and feelings could reflect a need to change your location or situation. Consider if this is possible in any way. If you are at a college that you hate, than consider a transfer, for example.
4) Please, go to a psychiatrist and talk about possible depression treatments. They are not fake happy pills. Whatever problems you had, you will still have on the medications, however, they will give you the ability to deal with them and be sure that your perceptions of events aren't being colored by your physiology. Also, do research on and consult with your psychiatrist about augmenting your treatment with orthomolecular treatment.
The most important thing to remember, and I know that you probably won't hear it, because when people said this to me I didn't believe them either, but it WILL get better (as long as you take it seriously and treat it). I have been there and I know that I would have missed the best years of my life had I done it.

You are a special one as all those who are outsiders and struggle to be sane. Yes there is an insult unto death from friends and family if they show you that you were never loved . But you are just being socially pressured. Be ready to give and learn what they want from you. If you feel it is unfair you are worthy to withdraw. Be safe in a safe place and watch and pray . Your time for change is forced upon you . Whatever you do don't think this is rare. Many have had to endure as you do now.
