you should definately give medication a shot. I had the worst mental health and with time and patients finding the right medication I am superb now. It will take a while but at the end of the day you have nothing to lose. I offer support to anyone who is going through a tuff time especially when it comes to mental health. Try joining a support group online. I am with http://www.revolutionhealth.com they have loads of health facts and support groups. If you wanna talk more email me koala4poly@yahoo.co.uk.

I know what you mean. I didn't want to take medication and when I did I really suffered, but that was years ago and the medication is much better these days (fewer side-effects) so I would say that if you are suicidal then what have you got to lose by giving the meds a go?
maybe medication is the answer, i mean come on what you got to loose, you already feeling rock bottom medication may make you feel better.it wont make you more crazy i think because you are feeling so low so are scared to try new things. you do need something like you say you are young, you wont always feel this way, try and get out more and make new friends. but please talk with GP or whoever has said try the medication. GOOD LUCK>
it sounds like you know you need the medicine. that was kinda what i thought too, but i want to live life may be crappy but it can get better i just have to live it and get out there. i cant if i am not open. hell everything hurts ya. if you think like that you cant live. i mean the air with the smog. take the medicine you dont have to tell anyone just enjoy life. it will be okay i promise
Medication sucks till you get it right. Then it does make you feel better but stick in there and give it a shot with support. If you feel down like tonight just let rip on here!
YES. also besides seeing a doctor you need to be reffered to a counselor. Meds don't make everything better but they can help your brain work better so you can participate in counseling and hopefully understand why you hate yourself so much. Also this dislike for yourself makes you negative which is probably why people are avoiding you.
Medication won't make you more crazy, you may have to try a few different ones if the side effects are bad. Also what are you doing to your brain WITHOUT meds, being this chronically depressed can be damaging over the long term. Hang in there eventually things will get better if you work at them, this won't be fixed in a day.
I suffer severe depression, and the meds I used to be prescribed never worked for me, but last week my doc prescribed something new and it's working....im not laughing or anything but my minds not going mad either which it usually is, and the best part is im not thinking about suicide anymore....aparently it's a new drug and it's definitely looking promising....go see your doc honey and get some help everyone deserves a chance at happiness, you never know it could be a new start for you.....Good luck and happy xmas
I'm no expert, all ll I know is that you really need to talk to a professional who can give you the right advice... whether it be strategies to deal with your feelings or medication. Don't forget life changes and moves on. You won't always feel the way you do right now and if someone can help you move through this bad patch quicker so much the better. I've been through depression - not being able to sleep and waking up after short sleeps worrying and fretting about things and seeing nothing but blackness. But I've come out the other side with help and perseverance. I'm not saying it was easy but certainly it has been worthwhile. Life can be good. Especially as you are young - you have so much to give others and just think of all the people you have yet to meet in your life some of whom will become good friends or loved ones. Don't be so hard on yourself and love yourself and life will open up for you. People care about how you feel and I'm sure you will find help but you have to ask. Take that step.
