l am an 18 year old girl. l have been depressed for a few years now. It has gotten extremely bad over the past year. l am currently switching from prozac to another anti depressant. l feel very suicidal. l started writing my suicide note earlier today. My plan was to make it past the holidays so my mother would not have to deal with my funeral at this time but l do not think l can make it months let alone days. Explaining why l feel this way would take me forever, and l am only here looking for some advice, anything, l just need some help.

l do not know who to ask for help or how to ask for help in real life. l do not know how to just come out and tell someone l wanna die..l am even planning how. l really need some advice, some help, l am at the end, and l am asking and needing any help please. Help me?

Doing it will make things worse, and think about the people you will leave behind. Surely you have plans for the week, month, future? It will be a let down for all the people you know because you will be gone and they wo not be able to get you back and you wo not be able to get back either. You have one chance on earth, do not waste it. Life is worth more than you give it credit for. It is hard, but living is more worth it than dying.

Message me if you need to talk more

You really need to go and speak to your GP about how you are feeling, especially if you are writing notes and can not speak to your mum.

first you need to look in the mirror every morning or even several times a day and tell yourself what a great person you are. also try some visualization. get into your head and imagine things like your at a happy place for you or something else like a bird in flight etc. also try music therapy. try to hang in there until your new meds take effect. it does get better!

Go out and have fun with your friends as much as possible. Spend time with people you like, dont be alone.

You can get past this. l believe in you. C'mon, l KNOW you can do it. Talk to your friend, bring up suicide, dont bring up you WANT to die yet, see what happened.

Good luck :(

A person is life is very important to the person who gave it to u which is ur mom.She would never want u to die on any given day if it is on holiday or not.Every mom has a soft part in there heart for there child & l know she would want u there for as long as she lives. l know life is very hard for u but u must hang on & stay strong because life is not just one stop,there is more to come & once u hit ur peek in live u will be glad u hung in there.Please think about the people u love & the people who love u before u want to end ur life.

God bless.

there are things you can do other than antidepressants to make yourself feel better, although you have probably heard this before.

exercise, being outside, getting proper sleep at night, eating healthily, stopping illegal drug use, st. john is wort, all sorts.

Dear Sam,

l am glad u r reaching out! It is a start for something l imagine u have been keeping all inside. Ventilating, & verbalizing ur concerns is the first step to gaining power over ur fears.

However, the internet is NOT a safe nor smart place to seek advice for emotional issues. Professional, face to face support is most highly recommended.

So, since u r on medications, l assume that they were prescribed by a Doctor, with whom u can have face to face interaction. l would call his office immediately & tell them what u r relating here. IF they cannot nor will not be of help, or if u do not feel trust in them, then call a crisis center in u community.

At some point l had to trust someone, & was glad l did, no matter what my initial reservations were.

Please do not just sit on it, keep going, u r a worthy, valuable person!

Go to the emergency room and tell them how you feel.

Remember suicide is permanent solution to a temporary problem.

This is your depression talking NOT YOU!!!!

CALL THE SUICIDE NUMBER THAT WAS LEFT FOR YOU

hi there first things first, you've gotta step back for a second & realise u r not alone. u may feel like u have no one to confide in who would understand, but trust me you're not the only one. l am a 17 year old girl & often feel the same way u do, though i'd never contemplate suicide because l could not put my family & friends through that - something u must consider. however, you've just got to learn to embrace the simple things in life, like ur favourite snack or tv programme. you've got to look outside everyday & realise that life is a gift! honestly, u will meet people like me who understand because we've been there & suddenly u wont feel so alone anymore. u do not want to die, you're 18 years old. l know it is hard right now but just hang in there, relax & begin to value yourself as a person & ur life. good luck, l hope u can overcome this feeling.

Do not do it, Sam.

When l was depressed, the best thing for me was just talking to someone, getting everything out. A friend told me that ''Depression stems from the belief that things will never, no matter what, get better.''

If u thought things *could* get better, then maybe you'd be able to hold on until whatever it is that is depressing u became better, or went away altogether.

Find out what things r depressing you.

If u need a nonjudgemental person to hear u out, let me know.

Dear Sam,

There r probably a dozen people writing to u right now. Please read everything they write, because they r telling u to hold on, even though u r in a period of darkest despair. l am a psychopharmacologist, who practices research in a department of psychiatry at a medical school. Depression is not a life sentence, with the help of a therapist & an anti-depressant, u can pull out of this. You DO need to have a therapist, along with the drugs, because u have to talk. You have a disease. If u had diabetes, & u could not control ur blood sugar, u would have no problem talking to ur doctor. Think of depression as being the diabetes of the brain. l do not know where u live, but go to google, type in ur city plus ''crisis intervention''. Also, sometimes, Prozac can increase suicidal tendencies. Give the new drug a chance, & that will take 4 to 6 weeks. l am not going to tell u that life is beautiful, that the world is perfect, that u have everything to live for. But l am going to suggest to u that u give life a chance. Good luck Sam. There is a bottom to the deep, dark hole. And once there, the best thing left is to propel yourself back to the sunlight. Take care.

First off l wanna say from first hand experience & l know a lot of people r going to flip over this but DO NOT GO TO A DOCTOR ABOUT THIS.
l too am depressed & l do get suicidal sometimes but if u go to a doctor the first thing they will do is put u in a mental hospital.
Being cut off from everything except a bunch of doctors who pretend like they know what ur going through DOES NOT HELP AT ALL.
You need to find something u love like a hobby or a person or even a band. Personally l find that certain bands can lift people out of hell even when they feel like there is not any hope. If u do not already l suggest u listen to my chemical romance. Gerard Way (singer) overcame severe depression & his music gives something for u to relate to so u know that ur not alone
