Answer #1

In the face of depression, everything is a loss. Any advice we give you won’t be good enough, and it’s unlikely you’ll even try it. Most depressed people are very good at making excuses.

All I can recommend is that you continue to keep seeing the psychologist and get the help you need.

Answer #2

if you could pinpoint what causes your depression, that would be good so that you’ll know which to fix. I was depressed before and thought of ending my life too and what made it harder for me is that I dont wanna talk about my emotional problems with other people. However, I didnt push through with suicide because I still want to live for my family and for my goals in life. So if you could know what your problem is, fix it. And think of what you want to live for, I know it might be hard to think about that when you’re depressed but try harder, there’s always, always something/someone you want to live for (I.e. Yourself, boyfriend/girlfriend, family, hopes, etc). If you want someone to talk to, funmail me :-) hope you overcome your depression.

funmail me && we can talk about it. but I can make this clear point: you can be happy in this life && ending it yourself will just lead to more pain and sorrow for you and the people who love you. suicide is forbidden in christianity && islam because they both say that you will go directly to hell if you kill yourself for any reason because you need to have faith in God.

Please funmail me & we can talk about it and how to make you feel happier:)

Answer #4

Speaking from experience, I’ve been depressed for 11 years, cutting for 8 of those not to mention every other possible harmful thing I could to try to feel better, I’ve seen it get better. I still get depressed, I still have horrible days (I’ve been having a hell of a week), but for the first time since I dont know when, I’ve actually had good and happy days. I’ve found something that makes life worth living. I love my work. Give the therapy a chance. It took me a few years to start getting better, but it can happen. The thing is, when I hit rock bottom I forget that. That still happens to me. It’s hard to convince yourself when you’re at that stage that things can get better. But following the old philosophy of one day at a time, you just have to survive today. Dont worry about tomorrow or the future. You just have to survive today. The long run part, well your therapist will work with you on that. And your therapist has probably already told you this, but you really should call if you’re feeling suicidal, and if you cant get ahold of your therapist then call the emergency number wherever you live.
