Am i crazy? I keep thinking of crashing my car.?!
Question: Ok i know im not a complete wacko, maybe i just think about things to much. Its not like im really depessed all the time or anything but i honestly cant be bothered with life. What is the point? Im relatively clever have a good job and lots of friends.
I think alot when i drive and for the last few months i keep thinking why i just dont put my foot down and drive into the barrier. I would never commit suicide because i care what people think and its always such a big deal and so tragic, a cry for help and thats not what i want. But a car accident...no one would know it wasn`t just an accident would they.
I personally dont understand why i feel this way but i actually nearly done it the other night, i noticed a car behind me so couldnt. as i wouldnt want to hurt any one else in the process.

First, I think it's perfectly natural to feel a little low sometimes. There is always good news and bad news in our lives and sometimes we focus too much on the bad news and feel bad, maybe even without being fully aware of it.
Second, the word depression means feeling worse about things than you reasonably should. In other words, life is better than you think it is. Your life sounds good!
And finally, the human brain is infinitely creative. We have all kinds of bad ideas or even awful ideas pop into our heads all the time. For example, "If that guy pays by check and holds up the whole line and I miss the start of the Superbowl, I'm gonna *murder* that guy."
When we have a terrible impulse, the normal brain considers it for a split second and then says, 'Well, of course, that's a terrible idea." So normal brains have all kinds of ideas . . . but then they dismiss the terrible ideas right away.
I think what it "means" is that you're feeling a little down. It's perfectly normal. I would cure yourself by taking it easy for a few months and "take a vacation while you're at work". In other words, keep going to work, but 1. have more fun, and 2. don't criticize yourself so harshly, and 3. don't try to fix every problem all at once. We all push, push, push. Relax a little bit. Until you are feeling better. Then you can start "putting your nose to the grindstone" again.
If you want, it never hurts to talk about it with your doctor. They're there to help.
Hun you need to get help asap. This isn't even something to joke around with. I just got a phone call yesterday from a friend of mine. Her 19 year old son committed suicide the night before by driving his car into a tree.
Please, get some help. You are suffering from depression and are in denial.
