I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time. Obviously your parents don't understand the severity of your malaise, the depth of your pain.. but trust me, there are people who have been down the same road as you and they do understand. I've never attempted suicide but I know what it's like when your family is not there for you emotionally, it hurts. They may not care about you, but they're not the whole world. Life doesn't want you to give up, fight... it's worth it, one day you'll look back and you'll be proud of yourself for all the stuff you've been through.. alone. It will make you stronger, eventually. Just hold on, even when you don't feel like going out of bed in the morning, take a deep breath and stand up, don't give up on yourself. You have hope.

The biggest thing to remember is that if you really wanted to die, you'd be dead right now. You know it, I know it, and your family knows it. Whatever you were doing was a cry for attention and not an actual suicide attempt. It's not hard to think of ways to off yourself without failure, especially with the Internet. The real reason you're upset isn't because you're alive or actually depressed but because your family acted like they didn't care. This happened because they know you were looking for attention and they believe that your actions didn't constitute anything worth attention. In order to receive the emotions you're seeking, you need to come to terms with the fact that life is a constant uphill battle that one one wins without struggle. Work hard and show an improvement in your general attitude towards life itself and all it's aspects. I assure you the only way to receive the attention you seek is to gain respect from your parents, something that doesn't come easy. The sooner you realize what needs to be done and stop blaming others the sooner you will move forward. I speak from experience and this advice saved my life.

Good luck my friend

Personal experience

your parents could have reacted like this because they were frightened at how they almost lost you im sure people care about you they may have just reacted like nothing had happened the next day because they didnt know how to dissc uss things with you or what to say

you need some help go and speak to your doctor tell him what happened and how you have been feeling latley and he will be able to give you some support

Don't worry; I feel as If my parents don't care about me either; it's natural

Just remember there is someone out there who cares

I may not know you; but I'm happy you survived; it'll give you a chance to live yur life more fully; you'll learn to appreciate it

I care; just remember that <3

I second Mary. I care about you too :)
Obviously people got through depression before psychologists were invented, so I agree that it's not absolutely necessary that you see one. Everyone has their ups and downs, we all just gotta suck it up and find something to do. [make sure it's not eating...] Maybe exercise? I always find time flies when I exercise.

Try to talk to them about it. Or go to a counselor or something that can hear you and provide you some help which might be free if your family can`t afford a doctor.

How do you have this idea? Life is precious. You should cherish life. You can tell your family or friends the unhappy things.

Stop being a cry baby and do something useful with your life.

please see a counsellor, your parents are arrogant and just don't understand...

Don't do it.
We should talk.
Email me if you want.

I'm really sorry to hear that your situation drove you to such lengths. Don't lose hope. Your parents probably didn't know how to react to what was happening. Pay more attention to how they must feel rather than what they say, because in a situation like that, their thoughts can't translate well enough into words. They surely must care for you.
And just so you know, there is always someone who knows and cares about what you are going through, and that is God. The Holy Scriptures say that you can "throw all your anxiety upon him, because he cares for you."(1 Peter 5:7) The God of the Bible is not what he is often presented as by religious leaders. He is NOT cold-hearted, distant, or malicious. He is a loving God, who "cares for you" as the scripture says.
Other scriptures that prove this and provide comfort for those who don't see life as a value are quoted as follows:

"Trust in him at all times, O people. Before him pour out you heart. God is a refuge for us." (Psalms 62:8)

"For God loved world so much that he gave his only-begotten son, in order that everyone exercising faith in him might not be destroyed but have everlasting life." (John 3:16)

"'Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not gaze about, for I am your God. I will fortify you. I will really help you. I will really keep fast hold of you with my right hand of righteousness.’"

God's name given in the Bible is Jehovah. The meaning of this name is "I Shall Prove To Be." This means that whatever it is that he promises, his words will be fulfilled. Whatever he needs to become in order to accomplish his purpose, he will become. This is comforting because he promises a time in the future where he promises that "he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)
Take comfort in all these thoughts, and know that Jehovah cares for you always. He is the "Hearer of Prayer" (Psalms 65:2) and you can pray to him anytime, anywhere, and pour your heart out. And know that he WILL listen.
"The desire of the meek ones you will certainly hear, O Jehovah. . . You will pay attention with your ear." (Psalms 10:17)
“[God] is not far off from each one of us.” (Acts 17:27)
"Draw close to God, and he will draw close to you. (James 4:8)

Through study of the Bible, you can draw close to the true God. Because to Him, every life is precious.
