Answer 1

Perhaps a mild case. Get in to see your doctor and have them run some tests. Tell the truth.

Answer 2

A doctor needs to prescribe you, but if you have no time you should get help anywhere. I think you are depressed if you want to die. You do not want it to get much worse than that. You need help. Talk to a friend, a parent, a counselor and they will point you in the right direction. Sometimes talking is enough, sometimes they prescribe medicine. Only take the medicine as a last resort.

If you feel like you are going to kill yourself, call 911.

Depression is usually prescribe through several symptoms. Do a search on depression symptoms and you should see if you have at least 4 or five of them. But, I will say that a diagnosis is not the cure. You need to see what is causing you to feel hopeless and do something to find hope for yourself. I trust that you will feel better in time, nothing worth it is ever instant.

Answer 3

Hmm. Not sure - usually depression is something that is there all the time, you don't have days where you feel AOK. Even manic depressives (bipolars) aren't quite like that. Still if you really, truly want to die sometimes then you obviously do have a problem and should seek professional help - before it does get to the point that you feel like this every day.

EDIT: Then please continue working closely with your psychotherapist - if you're undecided how you feel I would ask for the referral to the psychiatrist pronto!

Answer 4

Good God! Your life is a splendid gift to be treasured absolutely in every way. Look at multitudes of people alive and kicking that have it a lot worse than you do, there are plenty I'm sure. Think of the next ten, three, sixteen hundred or eighty eight beautiful warm days or sunsets you're blessed enough to experience with your sight, hearing and senses full on. Jump into a cold lake and then stand in the warm breeze feeling the wind blowing you dry. Next time you're alone, close your eyes and listen to the sounds of children laughing and squealing in a park or the sounds of birds or the ocean.

Perhaps.

I strongly suggest that you please seek help from anyone reliably older than you such as your parents, teachers, grandparents, priest, minister, doctor etc.

Try these websites for starters: http://www.boystown.org/hotline/index.asp

https://healthmanager.webmd.com/effexor/GuestUser.aspx?StartID=599

http://www.healthyplace.com/Communities/Depression/suicide/crisis_centers.asp

But please don't commit suicide.

First off I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CLICK ONTO THIS SITE IF YOU FEEL SUICIDAL: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org...

Please, do not feel silly to seek help for yourself if you really need it.

The counselors WILL NOT MAKE FUN OF YOU.

You must rise to the top.

But here are some sites to help you out for on line counseling:

Remember, THERE ARE OTHER SOLUTIONS THAN SUICIDE.

First, you must know that suicide is a bad and stupid solution to a temporary problem.

There are plenty of people who you can and must turn to such as:

Your parents
Your Grandparents
You brothers or sisters
Your doctor or doctors
Your priest, Rabbi, or minister.
Your kids if you have any.
Your neighbor or neighbors.
Your business partners.
If none of those people I mentioned above work for you then please click on this link: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org...

And if you really loved your family, you wouldn't want them to go through any emotional pain or life long unhappiness because of your selfish decision to kill yourself.

I've gone through severe times of depression myself so bad that I couldn't lift my chest up. However, I have overcome it.

You can to.

It doesn't matter if you aren't Christian, try looking into this very great motivational speaker: http://joelosteen.lakewood.cc/site/PageS...

He's very inspriational and can bring you back a lot of hope.

Don't give up.

Keep the faith.

Stay a fighter.

Don't let depression ruin your life.

You can overcome this.

You will overcome this.

You can, you will, you can...

Remember, don't forget about God.

He loves you. He cares about you and wants you to call out to Him.

God will help you overcome all including depression and diseases.

He may seem distant from you.

However, He isn't. God is in your heart. God has a plan for your life. Just please keep the faith and stay strong.

Answer 7

If you're having thoughts like you describe, then you need to bring it up with a doctor. If you don't seek help then it could get worse.
The best advice I could give you would be to not take advice from people on a web site like this, ESPECIALLY when you're having thoughts as serious as these. Find the people that really care about you and talk to them. They'll help you better than anyone here.
Good luck!

Answer 8

You might have SAD it is where you fell down from lack of
sunshine and bright weather. You may find when Spring comes you will feel a lot better. Maybe visit a doctor to discuss how you feel I am sure it will help.

Answer 9

I would say that this is a form of depression. I felt like this but, I had a major life change and I am so much better! Are there things that bother conscience? email me. I would love to talk.

Answer 10

It sounds like depression, whatever it is it's a problem that needs looking into. Please get yourself to a Dr and seek help with this, depression is treatable. A Dr should be able to help you, offer you treatment, support and refer you to others who could also help you. SI usually needs therapy to help you deal with it and replace it as a coping strategy. If you feel seriously in danger at any point because of suicidal feelings and thoughts please get yourself to a hospital straight away.
