Answer 1

Lisa, I want you to talk to a doctor. You are suffering from depression which is an ILLNESS. If you had another health issue, like diabetes, etc. you would get treatment, right?
Depression IS an illness, there is medication that will help you and therapy to go with it.
Suicide is not the answer. It's a permanent solution to a problem that CAN be fixed.
I had a very good friend who committed suicide. He killed himself and left a note to his ex girlfriend that "now she would be sorry." She was NOT sorry and just said what an idiot he was and he just proved it. The people who really cared for him were heartbroken.. But the person who he wanted to hurt did not even care.

YOU must love YOU and you need to find help to get back to loving yourself. You may look back at this post in a few months and feel SO happy that you fought for the right to live YOUR life, on YOUR terms.
Hang in there.. and please get some help.

You need to get some counseling and maybe get on an anti-depressant. I know exactly how you feel but my reasons are quite different: I am 23 years old and I have been chronically ill since I was 13. I have Lupus, MS, seizures, left side paralysis and now I might have a brain tumor. Three months ago I lost my apartment, my car was repossessed and I lost my job because I was too sick to work. I was enrolled in nursing school and living life to the fullest even though I was sick. I live with the daily fact that I might never live long enough to marry my fiance, have babies or grow old. You need to stop and re-evaluate your life and see whats most important. There are people alot worse off than you and would trade places with you in a second. So what if a teacher rolls their eyes at you, your family gossips or you have no friends. Life is what you make it and you need to quit playing the blame game. You sound young, so maybe it's just immaturity. Get some help, take some meds and go volunteer for a charity. Life is too short to sit around wasting time. Have fun and be young while you still have the opportunity! Good luck! :)

So now i'm proud to assert i'm between the happiest mom interior the international. My husband loves us the two very lots and that i thank the Lord for the blessing he gave us. melancholy loose technique?

Well I just read a study that found that accupuncture was more effective in treating depression than drug therapy (SSRIs, such as Prozac or Lexapro). Depression is very hard to treat, and it's very hard to make yourself get treatment when you're as depressed as you are, so you could consider asking someone you really trust, who genuinely cares about you enough to see it through, to help you find the right care. As for talk therapy or just talking with a close friend, the research says it's not very effective--rumination actually makes most depression worse, and talking brings on rumination for most people. I'd consider the accupuncture and/or drug therapy--I hope this helps.

Diabetes is usually treated through a combination of diet (low sugar), exercise and medications/insulin. Milder cases can be controlled with just diet an/or exercise while more severe cases require meds or insulin as well.

I have had lifelong depression.I have done things similar not out of trying to die but trying to physically hurt myself to purge the mental pain i am in.It is never serious but actions non the less.I know you dont want to see a doctor but that is one of the only ways to fix it.It doesnt go away on its own.I lost my medical insurance in june and for teh first time in over 20 years i am without antidepressants.I feel it.I know how you feel and have been on the edge many times in the last few months.People try to say things to help but none of it does. Or you read it and you shake your head because they 'dont know you or dont get it' right?
The reasons why you feel the way you do are relevant but irrevelant right now.Right now is about controlling the feelings and trying to get on top of the depression.There are 3 ways this can be done in my opinion.One is religion.I have tried religion but I am not a religious person so it didnt work for me.Some it does.Two is a doctor.They can prescribe antidepressants and they do work.It just takes time to find the right one or the right mix that is specifically for what you have.I have been on every one on the market and only one or two worked for me and worked less with time.Three is a psychologist or psychiatrist.IF you have never seen one it isnt like you think.Not like what you see in movies.Its like going to your regular doctor.They ask you what your 'symptoms' are, prescribe and recommend therapy which was one of the few things that did help me.There is no couch or guy sitting at the end with a pad and paper.And no one needs to know, its your business.
I can relate with what you say.I was picked on mercilessly at school. I decided to quit at 13 beacuse of the abuse.My parents were both alcoholics and said the same things to me all my life.You are a disgrace and a failure etc. Things are said in the heat of the moment and they hurt for a lifetime.I could write a whole list of things my family has said to me over the years.All of us kids are messed up but I was and still am the only one who admits something is wrong.Just remember you are not alone.
As far as the things happening that hurt you now.Try to think of the good things in your life.Even when there is mostly bad stuff there has to be a few good memories.Now no matter who it is that is causing the pain, are they worth ending your life for? Kids at school saying things.If they do they arent good people to begin with, are they worth you handing them a victory? All of it is sharp today, but there has to be periods of time when it doesnt seem overwhelming.Think of those times.That tells you your whole life is not worthless.Just moments..What is important today will not be as important tomorrow or next year etc..
I have begged myself for that secret to make it all better.That one reason, or thing to do, to erase whatever it is that is causing this.But there is no one thing.YOu have to work on each thing that keeps topping the list and making it bigger and bigger until it seems there is no way out.I think of it this way and it is probably too simplistic.Problems are like stacking dominoes.They pile up and go higher and higher.Eventually they topple over.Work on each problem or try to find a way to deal with each thing instead of just looking at the whole teetering pile.Each time you work on,try or fix something imagine knocking one of those dominoes off the top..Eventually you can knock off enough of them that the pile is manageable and not overwhelming..I hope it helps..

Hi,
I can understand what you say as I myself going through the same. I know it is like borrowing each day that comes. But do not take any extream step.
A little bit of imaging surely helps. Just imagine that you possess something (person or thing) that you always lived for and feel it near you.
It has worked a little for me. Let me know if it works for you as well.

Answer 8

Lisa, you are not alone. Please go to your parents, teacher or guidance counselor immediately and ask for help. It is not easy to ask for help sometimes, but just do it anyway, even if you are afraid of what people will think or how they will react. Your life is very precious, and you will not always feel the way you do now, even though it probably seems like you will. You will be surprised to find that after you ask for help, there will be people who will approach you and tell you they feel the same way. There is real help available for you, please just ask for it. Don't try to hide it from your parents. Even if it makes them uncomfortable, they are adults and they can handle it. Don't worry about how people will react. I work in a hospital, and I see lots of teenagers come in to the emergency room feeling suicidal, and they get help. Nobody makes fun of them. Nobody thinks they are crazy. They just get help from kind, compassionate people who know how to help. Please don't hurt yourself ever again.

Answer 9

As a depression sufferer the best advise I can give you is talk to someone, anyone. Your school consular, your parents, call 911, call the suicide hot line, look up mental health in the phone book; but talk to someone, anyone quickly.

Answer 10

I know its hard. You need to find ONE person that you can trust to just spill your emotions when you need to. Or try a diary. Find a hobby you absolutely love, and do it everyday. There are so many things to take your mind off this kind of stuff, you just have to find it first.
