For about the past month i have been feeling depressed and that no body cares about it and whatever. But just this past week i have been very stressed over school and having thoughts about suicide. Not actually doing but what it would be like and what would happen everybody else if i do so.Like the other day i was driving home and stressing out about all my homework and i thought to myself if i just drove off the road i might have to deal with this anymore. Am i suicidal? or am i just overly stressed and that is causing my depression and suicide thoughts?

Tell someone who loves you, like your mom or dad. or your best friend. my sister was extremly depressed for a while and she talked about it and she felt better. if you can't get any help from family, try going to a therapist. even though they sound stupid, they really help you let out your feelings! don't kill yourself because you do matter and people do love you! Whatever it is, tell someone soon!!! <33

I think you answered your own question. You wonder what would happen to everybody else. This means there must be people you care about, who in turn care about you.
Please don't do anything drastic. Life is really short. I really don't want to sound condescending, but you may look back at this in a year's time and think - oh yeah, it was hard, but i got over it, look at me now! (What is actually making you feel like this any way? Can someone help? Do you have somewhere to live/someone looking after you? School is important, but there is life after it! You don't need it if it is making you that unhappy. My cousin is high up in British Diplomacy - he didn't get a single certificate at school). Get your priorities right. If someone is pushing you tell them - I'll do what i want to do! I remember feeling like that a few times, but things ALWAYS got better. They always do. We are survivors. We are all the same underneath - we are animals. We have fundamental needs - to be loved, to be sheltered and to eat (and other stuff, but that's boring!). If we can have 2 out of 3 - that isn't bad is it?

you need to go get help....depression is a mental illness, it is not soemthing that you can just reason with.. it is caused by hormonal and chemical changes and you can't just ignore it.......... Its normal for you to ocassionally thinka botu it but when its gets this often it is not oaky.. and you might be suicidal.. being overly stressed can cause sucidial thoughts and even suicidal actions.. I'm guessing your a teenager because your in school and have homeowrk and that is a common time for depression becuase adolescencse and puberty cause an imbalance of seratonin and melatonin.. I really suggest you see a psychiatrist becuase you don't want to rsik actually being suicidal and a spychiatirst will give you methods for dealing with your stress anddperession

Ok, if its of concern to you, which it seems to be since you posted about it, and it probably should be, I would suggest you see if you can find a counselor of some sort to talk to. Even if its just your guidance counselor, they can tell you were to go from there. The scary thing about depression is that it can change rather quickly, and you won't be yourself. You may be able to sit there now and say "well, I'll wait and if it doesn't get worse I'll be fine." but if it does get worse, regardless of what you think now, you may or may not actually go get help when you need it. And just for the record, I know you don't actually know me at all, but if you ever want to talk, I'm around, and I hope this resolves well for you.

Talk to your family doctor, they can recommend and send you to someone who'll be able to better help and understand you're problem. We all have suicidal thoughts when suffering depression, but get help before its gets so bad, (i.e. developing into phycosis) Don't let it get that far, get active, surround yourself with people you love and see professional help. It will get better hun.
Keep smiling :)

I think you need to see a counsellour or your local doctor you sound very upset. Maybe speak to someone you trust like a teacher at school or your parents and let them know how u feel and maybe they can help.
