Answer 1

Emmy - you need to go to the Doctor - it sounds very much like depression, which is a chemical imbalance in brain and has nothing to do with how fortunate your life is or how great your parents and friends are. There are lots of treatments they can offer you - some medicinal - some therapeutic - some a combination of the two. The Doctor will be able to give you the referral. Please go.

I hope you are feeling a happier bunny very soon.

Answer 2

A. Do you really think your parents would actually laugh at you and taunt you for not going through with it earlier? I doubt this is the case, and I'm sure they would listen to you and help you get some assistance. If you really truly feel like your parents would be cold enough to laugh at you (and I hope not), there are all sorts of things you can do. Google a suicide hotline or talk to a close friend about this feeling you're getting (and make sure it's a CLOSE friend).

B. Muster up the energy to do something that makes you feel good. Volunteer, get a fun job, read some good books, start exercising, boost your grades, get involved in something you believe in. You'll be surprised at how much a meaningful life makes a difference in your self-esteem.

I felt like this a few years ago and felt like my ife wasnt going anywhere. I felt like all i did was get up, go to work, come home do the house work and sleep!
I felt really worthless... So i decided to get a job whereby I was goiving something back to the world.
I now take 999 calls and catch baddies!
On top of that I have started raisin funds for a charity organisation. I do mad things for them from dressing up and collecting money to sky diving and getting sponsors.
It has meant that I can achive some of my ambitions and do something worthwhile at the same time.
It wasnt easy to get motivated in the first place.
I was so depressed that I just wanted to stay at home and stare at the wall.... So i know where you are coming from.
Just remember that only you have the power to shape your future! No-one else can change it. Go out there and look for it. You can find some truely amazing things to do out there!!! Good luck buddy!

it sounds like you have severe depression and you need to get it taken care of pronto. if you are having suicidal thoughts you should either take yourself the nearest er and see what they can do for you. you may need to check yourself into a hospital. that is what i did and i got the rest that i needed and i feel a lot better. i have severe depression and anxiety and since i have been on my meds and getting therapy i have been doing a lot better. and i am sure that your family will not laugh at you. they will want to support you and have you healthy. this is an illness just like any other and it needs to be treated. it doesn't just go away and it will get worse. they can also give you some non habit forming sleeping meds to help with the nightmares and help you get good sleep. believe me when i say that you need to get help asap. i hope this helps and i know exactly what you are going through

Answer 5

You're right. If it's that long term, it's not going to shift by itself - or at least - it's dangerous to just leave that sitting there.

I'm not going to jump and say it's depression. However, it sounds enough like depression to consider getting it checked out.

If you don't want to tell your parents the details, you don't have to. If you need to talk to a mental health professional (and I suggest you should, because any thoughts of suicide should be taken seriously) and if your parents want to know why (like, if they have to sign the checks) just say "I can't tell you, but it's important - can you trust me?" and leave it at that - hopefully they already trust you enough to let you go and talk in confidence with a caring mental health professional that will keep your secrets if you ask them to.

http://www.beyondblue.org.au/ try out the checklist there and see if you match the symptoms of depression. I can't make a proper diagnosis from here but I would say you may have depression and it needs to be treated. I hope it goes well and if you have any other questions, please email me and I'll help the best I can.

Answer 6

What people have been saying is right,you really should seek medical help there`s no stigma attached to it .I myself suffered depression for many years to,so i feel much empathy for the way you are feeling at this moment in time.But remember there are an awful lot of people out there who do care alot about you and would be devastated if you were no longer there.Suicide is not the answer,take it from me killing yourself is not as easy as you may think.

Answer 7

No all depression is caused by external circumstances. Sometimes there is a change in brain chemicals, you can't control that by just being positive.
See a counselor, and a physician. The physician, or a psychiatrist, can prescribe needed medicines, and the counselor can help you with improving your self-esteem or other issues that may need some 'tweaking."

Answer 8

Your right it wont just pass, your depressed. Its a chemical inbalance in the brain, and you need help.
You need to go to your doctor and talk about all these terrible feelings. He may suggest anti-depressants or counselling.
Counselling is hard work and causes lots of tears, but it does release all the emotions that can cause you to feel low and well worth the end result.
You need to talk, you need to express yourself and not bottle up the misery.
Dont delay, ask for help.
Big hug for you.

Answer 9

sounds as if your suffering from depression, and you normally cant fight that alone.perhaps you should visit the doctor and tell them how you feel they may place you on anti depressents.there is something there that is making you sad and you need to find out what it is and change the situation so it becomes happy rather then sad.thoughts of suicide are a huge concern,and you should ring the samaratins,they be the best people to listen to you and advise you.

Answer 10

What and wreck your streak of three years? NOOOO choose for the checklist. understanding ends up in replace and shifting on and becoming up. stay good the place you're in a chuffed state of lack of knowledge. Why stay life once you are able to pine away in secret for 3 greater years..
