What can I do I am depressed and want to kill myself?

Answer 1

You should know that things don't have to be this way. Things can change, things can get better. You've taken a good first step and realized there is a problem. Better yet, you are reaching out for help. You should find out why you are depressed. Is it work? School? Relationships? Money? Sickness? Life in general? If you have a depressed feeling you can't shake and there seems to be nothing that is directly causing it, then you may have a depressive disorder. Go see a Doctor Who can help you, and find out if there is anything physical that can be fixed to help your depression. Seeking counselling is also a good idea. You can also read about depression online and get a better feel of what you are dealing with. You should also discuss your feelings and thoughts about suicide and depression with family or someone you trust. There's always hope and there will be at least one person who understands you and why you feel that way. You should also know that you are not alone in your feelings. There are thousands of people who go through the struggles you feel. Remember that depression is not a joke and should be taken seriously by those around you. If they don't understand that then it's best not to be around those people. Also remember depression isn't something that you should be ashamed of. Just because it is a mental disorder doesn't mean you are crazy, or a wimp. Please read the related links and call the depression hotline if you feel like you are going to kill yourself.
