Hi:
I agree with Warren, AWESOME research! There is also the National Suicide Hotline and they can be reached at
1-800-SUICIDE.
As always I suggest to someone who is suicidal that they immediately go to the nearest emergency room, police station, friend's, etc so that they are not alone and can get the help that they so desperately need at that time.
Be safe and be well
You have done well, and I am impressed with your work.
Here are some natural remedies for depression:

Hopefully this message will lead you to happiness. It applies to anyone who doesn't trust that Jesus is God.
God uses pain to test, punishment, restrain and correct a person / to teach / motivate them to do what is right. He also teaches that he allows unjust punishment by man and Satan to show how he, opposite of them, is perfectly just and infinitely more merciful. Doing so also brings him the praise he wants by those who love him as well as by those who hate him, and wants to show everyone that he is perfectly trustworthy, and that the living things he creates are not.
Don't substitute God or his word (the Bible) for a non-living thing, animal, friend, sensual partner, or some activity. Doing such things are against God and he will punish you for it eventually. Again: girlfriends or boyfriends (sexual / sensual friends) are forbidden by God. He only permits a person to date, get engaged and marry.
Jesus warned those who don't have God's forgiveness to get it immediately: "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul?" - Matthew 16:26
And he also said:
"first seek [God's] kingdom and his righteousness, and all these [things you need in life] will be given to you as well." - Matthew 6:33
You can learn how to get it by clicking the link in my profile and clicking the link n the right of my profile of that site which is linked to my free biblical guides. Look for the "gospel" download and pray to God to understand it. It's only a page and was written very easy so that even a kid with decent English language knowledge can understand it if he really wants to please God.
Once you have eternal life you automatically are in a family of countless millions and have countless friends and you will be able to help others to have eternal life or to understand or obey God better if he wills it. You will also have the ability to make close friends more easily in this life though you are not guaranteed by him to make any. You will have close friends forever however once Jesus returns.
Remember that you will be a hypocrite in God's eyes if you try to go about helping others to be moral if you aren't even forgiven of your sins. Jesus warned against such hypocrisy:
"first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye." - Luke 6:42
And only God can unblind you so that you can understand his word well enough to get his forgiveness and your own eternal spirit (which no one has until they are forgiven).
Remember not to assume and not to judge by emotions over logic. If you are not careful to judge correctly like that you will end up making wrong judgments most likely and not know it until you are humiliated.
Now whether you have it or not, know this:
Sadness is a result of feeling pain, either from not obeying God (like worrying or being impatient) which causes miserable stress, or misery from something like poor nutrition, loneliness, seeing someone you care about in pain, someone being unkind to you or some mental problem caused by brain or genetic damage or too low, excessive or poisonous chemicals.
Anger is also results from feeling pain, and feeling it because you hate or hated what was good (such as God) and lost patience with him, or because you see or heard some wrong doing or saw or heard about it.
Seek God and the help from forgiven Christian friends and a doctor if necessary. I have a health guide in my biblical guides link (on my digg profile) that may help you.
After you are saved you can comfort yourself by thinking about the good God has done, by doing good deeds yourself and then thinking about them, or by thinking about the good that angels and saved Christians have done. As long as you are alive and can think clearly and desire to help someone, you can be useful and do good by praying that God forgives them or blesses them in some other way.
If you have eternal life one day your pain will end and you will only be happy forever.
My profile contains basic information on how to treat people regardless of whether or not they are Christian or not or sad or not.
