Suicidal thoughts! What do I do?!


Question: Suicidal thoughts! What do I do!?
I've been feeling the signs of depression for some time now (a year) but I never really thought it was that bad until recently I've been having suicidal thoughts (it took me a while to realize they were suicidal thoughts actually!.!.cuz btw they were more like visions) anyways im really scared right now but more importantly I don't know who to turn to!! I don't feel comfortable telling people and I don't want to seem like the kind of person who just wants attention!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hi there!
There are people out there who understand and who can help you!. These people won't think you want attention, in fact, they will get you the help you need so you won't even attempt suicide!.
Do you have a therapist that you trust!? Trusting your therapist is the first step!. Building that trust is The key in a client-therapist relationship!.
If not, do you have a local hotline that is dedicated to depression and other mental health issues!? I know it may seem awkward, but these people are trained to listen and help you get what you need!. Try looking in the yellow pages for a mental health hotline, or go to a hospital and ask if they have any brochures on anything!. You can even try the internet!.
However, if the thoughts are so bad and frequent, go to the local emergancy room IMMEDIATELY!. Tell them that you are suffering from depression and you are in need of help and guidence!. Be completely honest with them and they will help you!. I know in emergancy rooms there are long lines, but they will get to you as soon as they can!.
Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to help yourself!. It will be very uncomfortable at first, but for the sake of your life and anyone else who is suffering from severe depression, it needs to be done!. That is the first thing I learned when I was admitted to the hospital for depression!.
I hoped this answer helped!. I know what it is like to suffer from depression; I deal with it everyday!. You just need to find the right people and they will help you!. That is really the only way to get better!. You can't get rid of these thoughts on your own!. People who are professionals will help you get rid of them!. Just find the right ones and learn to TRUST them!. Trust is the key!.
I'm 19 and I've dealt with depression since I was 12!. There are people who won't understand and will believe that!. But, there are many people who will believe you and who can get you help!. Don't listen to those who think its just a phase!. 99% of the time its not!.!.!.and that's why teen suicide is so high!. Its because they didn't get the help that they needed; either they were scared, confused, or they thought that they were too far gone for anyone to help them!.
I apologize for this lengthy answer, but remember there are other teens out there who feel this way and who are getting help!. And you can get help too! Just believe that people care!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think we've chatted before!. Having suicidal ideation is nothing to ignore!. Especially if you have had depression for a period of time!.
First question is- are you suicidal now and do you have a plan!. also are you alone or is someone with you!? If you are alone or have a plan either call 911 or at least a hot line!. Or if the answer to those are no-feel free to email me now and lets chat!. God Bless ReggieWww@Answer-Health@Com

Please don't follow through!. I lost my older brother to suicide one year ago and it is the most traumatic experience to pull through!. Call the suicide help hotline (you can google it and you should be able to find it with no problem) or just call a close friend who you can trust!. Maybe see a professional for help with your depression!. Maybe try visiting a church and talking to the pastor there!. I'm praying for you!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Don't do it!.

It's alright to not feel a emotion again!.!.!.I went threw one week not feeling nothing!.!.!.did not eat, could not sleep and did not leave my room (Tv, power, lights, music!.!.!.everything I put on hold) but I keep on holdin onto this little bit of hope I still have left!.!.!.that makes me a fighter!.

In God's eyes you can live again and turn your worst times into a changing moment in your life!.
