Ok so, im 14 years young and ive recently been diagnosed with depression. Isort of saw it coming, but for some reason it came as a huge blow. ive felt different ever since, but at the same time, im relieved to know that my personality has a justification. I have a lack of energy and happiness, and lately not only do i REALLY dont care about anything, but i've become extremely suicidal. Yesterday all i could think about was death, i just DON'T see any point in living anymore. I'm become more afraid of myself, because I actually might committ suicide [I've tried it twice before]. In my mind I ask myself why I haven't done it. I know I need help, but people reminding me each day is making me feel like I deserve it even less. There's a lot more to my story, but I know well that people are sick and tired of listening to other's problems when they have their own to deal with. I don't feel that anyone cares anymore, as hard as they try to pretend. So, should I just do it already?? Thanx for reading (link)

Wow, that was a blast from the past. You basically described me a year ago (also diagnosed with depression)..( I'm 15 by the way)
As appealing as it may seem at the time, SUICIDE IS NOT THE ANSWER. I can't stress that enough. Sure, it may seem like people around you don't care anymore, but (at least in my case) some people don't know how to react when someone is diagnosed with a mental illness, so they back away. You are a human being, worthy of all the respect, support, and love people around you can give.
You say you were diagnosed? Well did they prescribe any antidepressants for you? If they did, they could be causing(or at least helping) those suicidal thoughts. Do some research on whatever you're taking(if you are taking anything), check the side effects, odds are "Suicidal thoughts" or something of that genre will be there. Now if you're not taking any sort of antidepressants, talk to your doctor about it, tell them that you have been having suicidal thoughts. It might get worse before it gets better, but, believe me, it will eventually get better. Go see your doctor, depression is nothing to be ashamed of. For more information try this website http://www.abc.net.au/health/depression/anti.htm
If you have any questions, or just feel like having someone to talk to about it, feel free to contact me. I'll do all I can to help. So, good luck ^_^
