I'm depressed and have suicidal thoughts. I also have no idea what to do.

ve been feeling this way for a few months and I've tried reading up on it, all I find is the same thing, people saying it will all be OK which doesn't help me at at all.

I'm just lost and alone and I have no idea what to do.

First and foremost - you MUST visit your G.P.   There is help out there. Anti-depressants work wonders.   As I've said on other depression posts on here, Samaritans can be a great help.    They are trained in depression and suicide.  Just a talk to somebody you don't know can help.  

I dont know what to say to help you because I feel exactly the same way. All I can say however is that you're far from alone.

If you want to talk about it feel free to drop me a message, I feel we'd probably be doing each other a favour by having someone in a similiar position to talk to =)

I know this sounds stupid.....but I don't feel that I can go to my GP. I would have to tell my parents and I don't feel I can, I don't want to let them down or disappoint them.

I'll try talking to Samaritans, thank you

Thank you, we should talk but I'm fairly new to this sight so I don't know how to really.

Just got to click on the persons name then press message. Messages will show a notification at the top right of your screen. I've got to head out in a minute, and I'll be out all day due to work but I can message you tomorrow if you'd like to talk? 

OK, tomorrow sounds good.

Hey Sophie sorry to hear you are feeling that bad, i know its hard to tell people or go to the doctors, if you want to talk feel free to message me x

Sophie, I've found that people that use this site really do understand the sorts of things that we're going through, the best advice that I can give you is go & see a GP that you have confidence in & explain to them exactly how you feel. 

Friends & family don't always understand depression & there is a tendency to think of it as 'a phase' or pull yourself together, I can say this whole heartily that that approach (if you have mental health issues) does not help or work! Try not to get put off by patronising comments & keep on talking!! Be st wish es x
