I just thought about committing suicide, I don't know what to do, I want to!


Question: I just thought about committing suicide, I don't know what to do, I want to tell my parents about I don't know?
I'm a 15 yr old girl, I've battled with depression (a lot) and I'm on several medications I want to tell my parents but it would crush them, Idk if it's serious thoughts or not im scared really, really scared. I guess it's been going on for awhile now, at first it was little, but now it's consuming my brain (depression). Should I go to a Psychiatric hospital, I am all ready seeing a therapist.

Answers:

As much as you don't wanna scare your parents,committing suicide will scare them more. You should talk to your parents daily on how you feel and if they care about you and are worried,they will listen. Sort through problems. And remember,medicine can only boost you, you need to try and work through this to make yourself feel a he'll of alot better. I was diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression when I was about your age. Talk to your friends even,write your feelings down. Listen to your favorite song or think about something that makes you smile or laugh. you CAN overcome this. It won't always take over you if you don't let it!!!


Much love and hopes xoxo

Experience ,things will get better in time I promise



I think when you have these suicidal thoughts you should call your therapist and talk with them if they are helping you. Unless you act on your thoughts of suicide, then you shouldn't need to go to a psych. hospital. If you don't feel your therapist is not helping you, then I would suggest you find someone else. It is important that you have that connection with them so you can open up with them completely to get all the help they can offer you. Tell them everything and don't hold back. It is ok to tell your parents about your thoughts. I know they may be hurt, but they love you and they also are there to help you. Take care of yourself.



It's great that you are reaching out for help! It sounds like you are feeling so depressed that you are contemplating suicide. Suicide isn't the answer, no matter what problems you are dealing with. Don't keep your suicidal thoughts a secret. Immediately talk to your parents so they can get you the help that you need. Always remember that your life has great value!

I'd like to tell you to get off the meds, but that's the kind of stuff that has to be done under medical supervision. I can tell you that most medication for depression can, amazingly, cause suicidal tendencies. So at the very least you need to have your doses checked/adjusted. And preferably, find a doctor who is willing to taper you off those poisons. A girl your age should not be on more than one medication, no matter what they say, if any at all.

My own experience, that of my parents, siblings, and friends, with depression, anxiety and mental illness.



I personally would first tell your parents. Second it sounds like you need your meds evaluated again I wanted to kill my self after surgery it was the sure effect from my meds.. please please don't kill yourself its not worth it...15 was a bad she for me but it does get better :)



you should relax and stop taking the medications yourtaking,have a seat with both of your parents and talk to them about whats going on.they will understand and help you out.



talk to your parents. They love you and they will help you find a solution and support you the whole way!
