Does anyone...

---

its been on and off, have good times that are great and everything is going really well, and then something triggers it all off and i hit rockbottom, have though about going on antidepressents, but i feel that if i went to the docs it would be like admitting i need help, i hate that, its like im not strong enough to cope with it alone, also, im afraid my boyfriend will leave, he wouldn't, but im dead insecure about it, be a reason for him to go if he knew i felt like this. and it would affect my course, i wanted to get help just as i was applying to my nursing degree, and one of the questions was about my mental statew, i was scared that i wouldnt be accepted if i said i was depressed. i know it all sounds stupid but its just how i am.anyway listen to me ranting on, boring you all to tears im sure! heheBecky xxx

a lot of people regard taking anti-depressants as saying 'they are not strong enough' or that they are 'mentally unstable' its crap. Depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, You are not admitting to anything...........if you feel this bad, then you have to admit one thing, that you can't cope by yourself and you do need help. I guess a lot of your insecurities are also because, or made worse, by the depression. Getting help would change your life, what have you got to lose? hugs

This is helpful.

i feel that if i went to the docs it would be like admitting i need helpBut you do need help! You wouldn't have this attutude if you had a broken leg. What is the point of suffering, and not being able to function well? To prove what?If it turns out that antidepressants are helpful for you, I guarantee you that you will have no regrets for having seeked help. You're worried about school, but you will have a difficult time with school if you are chronically depressed.If you were a nurse and someone came to you with obvious signs of depression, what would you tell them? To sit in their room and endure?

You, on the other hand, are such a pussy. Why don't you just follow your own advice? You're not stupid. You can do it if you want to.

PM me wtf you said, I wanna hear it

Death by crayon. It's not a pretty sight.

i agree steve. I thought admitting that you have a problem was the first step to getting help and getting it solved.

I don't want to kill myself, not that I'm afraid to, I just want to see what happens next in the future, I don't want to miss the next big terrorist attack on CNN or whatever. But like I said before, I don't take extroadinary measures to protect myself, I don't wear a seatbelt, drive recklessly, I smoke ciggarettes and drink alcohol, and I don't even look when I cross the street.

That sounds more like you try to create trouble for yourself on purpose.The problem with your "ways" are that some of them put other people in danger as well. Driving wrecklessly and not looking when you cross the street not only put yourself in danger, but could cause danger for innocent people.

Innocent people... not like they'd ever lift a finger to save my life. And why are the mods such pussies about editing posts? InSearch told me to jump off a bridge and no one would care in one of my threads, but god forbid if I do anything similar.

We prefer to allow people to speak as freely as possible, though sometimes it's a difficult judgement call.

I hope everyone recognises that advice they are given here by anyone is not guaranteed to be good advice, or what most people think. Everyone needs to consider for themselves whether a piece of advice is a good idea or not.

I think a lot of people would lift a lot of fingers to save your life, white_lines, if they could see how to do it.

Your "link" was over the top. A website filled with references and information on methods to kill yourself is pretty low, unnecessary and tasteless. If you have a problem with me removing your link, you can contact me directly. Got it?

The problem with the whole suicide thing is that people make the decision to go ahead with it when they're depressed and not thinking clearly. (This is a different situation from people who are at the end stage of a fatal disease.) So many people get depressed, attempt suicide, and later on are very grateful (if that's the right word) that they failed. I'll bet a lot of people who have succeeded would have felt the same way, had they failed.

If people are looking for information like that, you can't really stop them. but making it easier is a hideous thing to do.

Christ, over-the-top? I didn't think that site was actually taken seriously with listed methods of hiring a hitman to kill you and jamming pencils up your nose.

Among the stupid stuff is a lot of dangerous stuff. With some of those methods, what's worse than succeeding is failing and really messing yourself up. How wouldd you like to live the rest of your life without functioning kidneys?

actually in my last school someone actually did kill themselves by sticking two pencils up their nose, yeh not nice..

I think a dagger in the abdomen is among the coolest ways, people will think of you and say "Wow, that dude had balls, he stuck a knife in his gut".

Not certain to be fatal; causes trememdous suffereing.

That would just cause too much siffering and you'd bleed out before anything else (usually)In 7th grade a girl in my class committed suicide because her BF broke up with her. She took a gun and shot herself in the chest. Unfortunately she didn't die right away. The coroner (Or however you spell it) said she laid there for approx. 2 hours before she actually died. Not something a parent wants to hear that their daughter, though committed suicide, laid there for 2 hours suffering.
