You have to get some help. It's a good thing to be able to reach out when you need to, so please don't be afraid to talk to somebody about this. You've taken a step in the right direction by talking about it here, but be cautious, as many who think they have answers actually have no idea what they're talking about.

Suicidal thinking, crying for no apparent reason, thinking negative thoughts about yourself, hopelessness, feeling sick all the time...
What you are describing sounds very much like clinical depression to me. It does NOT mean you are crazy and the good thing is this can be treated. You honestly don't have to feel this way...there is hope, even though I know it doesn't feel that way right now.

Although it is true that antidepressants can increase suicidal thoughts in adolescents, it happens much less frequently than most people realize (I think the statistic is 4%). If this happens, tell somebody immediately. The FDA put a "black box" warning on them and people have gotten into a panic, hesitating to allow their kids to be put on these meds and you know what has happened as the number of young people taking them has dropped? As many professionals predicted, the suicide rate for this age group has risen significantly. My point is...do not be afraid to try meds. I'm not a doctor, I can't diagnose you or tell you what you should take. But I am somebody that has been living with what turns out to be bipolar disorder...with way too many episodes of depression throughout my childhood and teenage years. I wish somebody had tried meds when I was younger...the first time I tried any I was 17 and told the doctor we needed to do something because I could not live that way. They're not magic and not happy pills, but they can dramatically lift the heavy darkness of misery that clouds everything in life. I really feel for you, because I spent many, many years feeling the things you are describing and honestly, it is hell. But you won't feel this horribly forever.
There is a biological basis to depression, although it is not fully understood yet. There are marked changes in the brain function of people experiencing depression and that is why meds can help. Some people really need antidepressants just so they can face and deal with other issues. Medication should go hand in hand with therapy, as well as a healthy lifestyle.

Any professional knows to take suicidal thoughts very seriously...only people that don't understand would think that kind of talk is for attention. (These are likely the same people that will tell you to just get over it and get happy - if only it were that easy).

I think you should read this webpage and agree that calling a hotline would be a very good idea. They are trained to help you with just this kind of thing in a compassionate, non-judgmental way.

I always get really upset and emotional too. But if you are suicidal think of the impact it will have on the rest of your family, imagine leaving the people who love you most, thats what keeps me grounded. People put on a happy appearance so they dont burden others, but sometimes its better to show emotion, people can understand that its not something to gossip about.

I hope you are feeling better as soon as possible :)

I would go to a therapist. I think that would help. I have had the same experience but then I became a christian.

if you are a boy please sit down with yur mom and talk to her abou thtis. you do need some help and i think you can't do this by yourself. there is nothing gaiend by dying. tis a wasite of time you can't do this. i man hey who ever you are leaving behind will have such guilt it could kill him also. you need to get yourself up and move on and go shop go dancing and just go go and do things you will run and be gone with this dream soon. take care.

Are you on any medications? Some make you have suicidal thoughts.

You need to talk to SOMEONE about this. It sounds to me like what is wrong is that you are very depressed. This will not go away on its own, you will most likely need to see a psychologist or a psychiatrist in order to get better.

If you don't feel you can talk to your friends, talk to a guidance counselor, or your parents, or anyone you trust.

I wish you luck, and I hope you are able to get some help. You'll feel much better once you do.

im thinking depression and you can get meds for that.

You just need to learn to be happy. I feel like that at times, too. But then I realize that there is a future ahead of me. Even if it takes forever to have a successful one, I still strive to at least make a difference for myself. I think the hard part about life is trying to stay alive. Dying is just the easy way out and cowardly because then you are leaving so much behind. Everyone will miss you and it'll just mean you're selfish and don't care about others. Everyone everywhere is dying nowadays, so I wouldn't want to waste a life given to me. I consider it precious. Just learn to live life everyday knowing that someday you'll eventually go when the time is right. There is so much more out there. Have you considered doing anything for a change? Traveling? Working? Volunteering? and meeting new people?

the very obvious answer is go and see a psychiatrist please. dont do this to urself u dont deserve it ,like everybody else u also need to live a happy life so plzz see a pysch. asap

I really think you should tell your parents and/or a school counselor right away. You are a valuable person and you deserve a happier life. You need to get help.

go to http://www.thehopeline.com they really can help
its an adult you can talk to , and they are trained and they will try there best to help you!

lots of people have those thoughts. probably even some of your friends. if they are really bothering you...seek help from your local family doc ..school counselor..or county mental health clinic. u dont have to be miserable..there is help out there.

If you have a school counselor or teacher that you trust, it might help to tell them. I know some kids from my high school talked to our counselors on a regular basis.

And just know that nothing is worth hurting yourself over. If your break-up is what's causing you to feel this way, you don't have to hold on to that pain. Everything happens for a reason. And you will have more relationships and more heartbreaks, it's just the way it goes.

I hope you feel better. =)

what do you mean you feel sick all the time? everyone has things to go bonkers about, but when you have a good support system its not so hard. people you can talk to, i swear that makes all the difference. if lots of things are stressing you out, make sure your body is getting extra sleep and nutrients and exercise to deal with it. you need to take your mind off stuff, and have things to preoccupy yourself with. try worrying about other people, or helping them, who are dirt poor or really sick, etc. my voice always tells me the things i don't want to hear in my head, but who says i have to listen to it? there's so much other stuff to worry about and do in life than focus on myself anyway. i do yoga and meditate, and my "center" is so calm that when im not stressed out and have a monent of quite, its nice to be with myself and my own head. do a yoga class. yoga solves everything!

well first thing don't hurt yourself it wont solve any of ur problems and you wont be just hurting ur self you'll be hurting everyone that loves you tell ur parents how you feel or even a aunt uncle or cousin etc... that you feel close to you should see a counselor it always help to talk to someone that wont judge you

First off think of what all you have to live for and would lose out on if you went throught with this. You are only a Sophmore you wouldn't know what it's like to have a husband, have children, seeing your kids grow up, and like one of the ppl b4 me said think of the effect this would have on your family! I know that this sounds like a preachy answer but think about getting Christianity and Jesus into your life, then you have even more to live for. Also talk to your parents or a thearapist, that's one of the things they're there for! But they can't help you if they don't know you have these feelings! And this may also be caused by feelings pent up inside you, now matter what people say showing emotion is not a sign of weakness. On the contrary it's a sign of maturity. If you do want to come to Christ then find a local Church in your area and talk to the pastor there. And above all DON'T TAKE YOUR LIFE!! Please consider not just my answer but everyones!

well, im a freshman, and to tell you the truth, it would be a bit shocking but i wouldnt gossip about things like that. if you dont want to tell them then at least tell your parents or like get a doctor for it or somthing like a therapist or pshycologist/pshyciatrist.

If you die, you can't get any answers. Tell someone you feel comfortable with these things, you're not alone but if you die, you will be.

You probably have clinical depression - see your doctor.

Don't be afraid of the label - it should actually be called, "endorphin deficiency".

Your body isn't producing enough endorphins for your brain - there are medications that will stimulate this endorphin production.

It's a common problem - see your doctor.

do not think about death. because if you died the other people who care u like your parents will be hurted.parents are more important than friends. parents care you for more than 20 years but a fried only for 2,3,4, or 5 years.so live for the people who care you like your parents.

you need someone to talk to
someone you can trust with anything
you should see a doctor if its really that bad
everybody feels sad sometimes you just need help getting through and past those times
feel free to email me if talking to someone you dont know will help. laterz
