Depression, suicidal.

I always seem to feel depressed, or annoyed at something, occasionally I feel happy but that doesnt last very long. I have started to feel suicidal recently though, I have cut myself for quite a while but I am starting to feel like I shuld just cut deep down the road and end it all. The two things keeping me from doing it is the hope that sh*t will look brighter after college, but everyone says I should enjoy these years as it's only going to go down hill from here on and the second reason is that I don't want to put my family through the pain of me killing myself.

    And magically reappears when u turn 22?! No. I'm sorry I don't think it takes a doc to advise u to ignor the previous comment. Some people are just ignorant. Teen angst...idiot. Anyway def talk to someone. If u don't have a friend or relative u trust enough go see a doc. If they say bi polar after one visit, don't pay and find a diff one. I wanna die. In fact just last night I contemplated for hours. Then I realized I don't want to die, I want to b in control of my emotions and feelings and if it means time to understand so be it. But the only way u can really get help is if u really want it. There are so many simple beautiful things to live for and with. I hope u talk to someone. I'd say good luck but u don't need it. Everyone has smthng to offer some just need help figuring out what that is. I'm sorry u r going through this

    No matter how bad you feel now, it's not worth killing yourself over. it can be hard to believe if you're really down, but things will get better, regardless of what anyones said to you. if you're feeling suicidal, you'd probably be best speaking to a professional about how you feel, therapy and medication can help with depression, if that's what your problem is.
    also, with the help of others, i think you should try to stop cutting. as I'm sure you know, it can be very addictive, and the longer you cut the harder it'll be to stop, and if you cut for a prolonged period often you're going to have to go to more and more extreme measures just to get the same effect, or even just to feel normal. self harming doesn't necessrily mean you'll kill yourself, but it definitely can't help your emotional state in the long run.
    Most importantly, don't try to go through this on your own. it's hard enough to cope with support, and even harder on your own. it's good that you know your family care about you: would you be able to talk to them about how you feel? even if you're nervous about seeing a therapist, they might be able to help you.

    First of all, you can't bloody diagnose bipolar disorder from a paragraph. So shut it. No manic symptoms were indicated anyways, so your full of shit, irresponsibly giving medical advice.
    God.
    To the original poster, go to a doctor, or a mental health professional, although you'll likely get referred to one through your GP, you owe it to yourself to explore different options for treating depression, and if it is clinical depression or comorbid with another disorder etc.

    You owe it to yourself and anyone you love to seek professional treatment before contemplating suicide. Mental health professionals have effective treatments for depression coming out their yingyang.

    You have no excuses not to explore that venue.

      Hey I understand sometimes it feels like we have the whole world on our shoulders at times but when u fall just get right back up and try again. Take 5 minutes out of the day to do something for yourself no matter what it is and write in a journal, call friend or family members to let it off your chest. dont bottle it up it makes it worse..

    I have to say that suicide is not an option. Don't just not do it for your family do it for yourself. Life is hard it is painful but you just take it one day at a time. I have lost a friend to suicide and almost lost a girlfriend that way. But believe me when I say that there is so much goo in this world to live for. If you need to talk to someone go find a relative or really close friend to talk to or just to hold. It isn't gay if you aren't to walk up to a good friend and ask for comfort from them. Hell when my girlfriend almost died I went over to my best friend who happens to be a guy and I just cried for hours. Afterwards I felt much better just knowing that there is someone who I can trust and has my back no matter what. GO find someone and just talk, or just cry or hold. When you are finished I promise you will feel much better.

    It's called teen angst. Good news, though: it magically disappears when you turn 20.

  • You don't have depression, you have bipolar. You're lucky that you're in college. I have highschool to endure. I might be dead when my college year comes around, haha.

      not exactly sure how long I'll manage to live with myself either, it might be bipolar idk, I hate myself and that makes me depressed quite often and if I were to give into any of my 2 main desires then I would feel as if I don't deserve to live, which kinda makes me more depressed. I have a rape desire and pedo desires and if I act on either of them I couldn't live with myself and there would be a high chance of suicide.
