Where can I get help for my severe depression?!
Question: I've had depression for a long time now and I'm sure I'm in the suicidal stage. I hate myself, I don't feel like doing anything all day other than stay in bed and cry. I rarely eat anymore and that's caused me to lose 20 pounds in the last 3 months. I tried to kill myself 4 years ago when I was 14, but I chickened out. I'm now a freshman in college and I don't have any friends, just a couple of people who know my name. I've always been a little antisocial, but at least I had hobbies that I enjoyed, but they don't interest me anymore. My grades are going downhill, I've always had good grades in the past, but I don't feel motivated anymore, I'll avoid homework on purpose and sometimes I won't go to class if I don't feel like it, at this pace, I'll lose my financial aid and will have to drop out of college. I feel like I don't have any reason to live anymore, I've pretty much hit bottom . I'm desperate right now, where can I seek help? Even if it's online, I would really appreciate it.

If you think you are suicidal, you need to call 911 and tell someone, or call your RA in your dorm. As for the depression, you can usually get help through student services or the Dean's Office, or even going to the school's health center! Anyone of those people would be able to assist you in finding help! I want to say congrats on asking for help! Its hard to do, and you are doing the right thing! If you can get help for your depression you will be able to see the things you have to live for! If you want someone to talk to, feel free to IM me. I will be up for a while!
Come to Jamaica n checkout out our beaches :) best of luck wit tht tho
Please go and see a doctor ASAP
There is good medication that can make you feel so much better and like life is worth living. THere is no need to live like this.
I have been taking anti depressents for over a year now and i've never been happier, it helps to put things in perspective.
Make sure you tell your doctor you are suicidal, some anti depressants can be dangerous when you are suicidal.
remember you are not alone, depression is a common human experience.
Life is a precious gift, maybe finding a way to help someone less fortunate than you could give you purpose and help you feel better, but first get to the Doctor!
Hang in there bud, I know how you feel. I too felt really depressed my freshman year, and I can relate how it was tough to go to class and concentrate when you are feeling down. But trust me, life does get better. Like the other comments above if you are feeling suicidal seek help from your health department etc. Sometimes just talking about your pain helps. Call your RA up right now, make an appointment with a counselor tomorrow. I know its tough when you are feeling depressed but try and make an effort to join school groups. You mention you had hobbies, seek groups that share your interests. This helped me...
Take it ..eat it everyday....it's unproven....
But who knows it will help you.
have to be RAW
12 pcs. RAW PEANUT 1 pcs. RAW WALNUTS
It's weird? ...just laugh.. try it for your self the one I mention.
don't thank me thanks to you.
If you are taking any medication.. Get off them immediately! They trigger suicidal thoughts and behavior. I would love to help you but you need to see a therapist immediately. Click on the link below and search by your zip code and make an appointment with one of these therapist. If you don't have money then give them a check.
