For the past couple of days i have not been feeling myself. Yesterday i was really depressed and today i feel no emotions. If you were to ask me how i am i would tell you i don't know because i feel nothing. I have notice that in the past month my depression has been getting slightly worse but it was just every so often and i could still be happy. but now i just feel like things will not get any better and llife just sucks. Also with in the last couple of days i have thought about suicide, not actually doing it but just what it would be like to actually do it. I have also thought about harming myself in different ways, again not actually going to do it but just thinking about what it would feel like. I have been very stressed from my college classes and all the homework, could this be the reason why i feel so depressed??

You may have no emotions because its your way of shutting out everything that's bothering/pressuring you lots of people suffer from depression in silence, but it helps to talk about it with other people whether that be a friend or a trained counselor. Also there is medication available to help, but i personally think anti-depressants suck. I'm on valium which is different but makes me feel good (can be addictive) so please don't harm yourself there's help out there my email is dream9er1@yahoo.com if you want to chat to someone.

The reason behind it all (stress, college, etc.) is not what is important here. What is important is that clinical depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, and you are having suicidal thoughts. There is no reason for you to continue feeling this way. Supportive friends are a great help, but remember they cannot cure a chemical imbalance.
You can get better, but it will take professional help (and not necessarily a "shrink" either--your PCP can prescribe antidepressants if you'd rather start with that route) and you need that NOW! Please see someone ASAP

Could very well be if you are feeling overwhelmed. It could also be the terrible drab winter weather if you live in the northeast. Just remember life is what YOU make of it. It can be however you want it to be. Maybe I would suggest doing something you like for a little while instead of school work to break up the monotony.

that could be the reason ,college,what do you do for fun,getting out more could be a answer,doing some things for yourself.Do you have a family, spend time with them,see what you can do to fix it if not go talk to someone. Good luck and God Bless
