What should I do about my severe depression?!
Question: What should I do about my severe depression!?
I've been very severely depressed for 2 years now, and I don't know what to do about it!. I don't get any help from the people around me, because when I try to tell them anything, all they do is call me a liar and a freak!. They don't understand what's going on, and I'm not asking them to!. I just wish they wouldn't ridicule me!. I don't have hundreds of dollars to spend on a psychiatrist, and that never helped me before, anyway!. Medicine doesn't work, therapy doesn't work, nothing works!. I've tried and tried to figure out how to help myself but I never do!. Every day I think about grabbing a shotgun and pulling a Hemingway, and I don't care if that's selfish!. It would be worth it to know that the people who ridicule me and are making me suffer, will be suffering too!. Due to my depression, I went from A's and B's in high school to mostly C's and D's, and I even failed an entire semester!. I graduated on time, but I could never get into the university I'd been dreaming of since middle school!. I'd planned on enlisting in the Air Force for the college benefits, and also because it's something I'd be proud of for the rest of my life!. Now I would never survive basic training because of my pathetic mental state!. I'm worthless and contribute nothing positive to society!. I just don't know what to do anymore!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
