depression?


Question Posted Wednesday January 3 2007, 8:49 pm

i have no idea if i'm depressed or not. but i keep having really scary thoughts of me dying tragically. like i'm just walking down the street, and i picture myself getting hit by a car lying on the street.
i think a lot. too much actually. like one minute i'm completly happy knowing that i'm loved by people. the next i'm so scared that everybody's being fake and i'm going to get hurt by someone i love. it scares me. is this normal? i don't know why i'm having suicidal thoughts. and i hate over thinking.
should i go get depression pills? or no? and what exactly would they do for me? and where can i get them?

What you should do is see a therapist. talk about it with them. It seems to me you are bipolar. from the being happy one minute and then thinking bad the next. it doesnt seem like depression. and also a little mild skitzo. from the thinking someones going to hurt you, while your walking down the street. go get help talk to a therapist. she can give you some medicine to help you.

I think we are all very much aware of how mortal we all are. It is not uncommon to picture ourselves leaving behind those we love whether it be through our own doing or because of an accident..

Self doubt plays a big part in those thoughts and it helps to remind ourselves about who and what we would leave behind if we did commit suicide.

I believe it is normal to think that killing oneself is the easy answer, but unfortunately it is not.

From what you say I don't think you sound depressed or suicidal. However, if your thoughts do darken and you feel that you need help, please see your doctor. They will be able to talk you through your feelings and will know whether you need medication or counselling.

Medication will help you feel more relaxed and chilled out, and counselling will help you explore your inner feelings and help identify and deal with them effectively.

I hope this helps. Take care.

If you're an adolescent, they tend to think like that sometimes, and if you're under stress from like school or friends or something like that, people tend to have suicidal thoughts. I say give it time before you go to a doctor. If your mood doesn't lighten up, you might want to go to the doctor and get a prescription if she thinks you need it. Also...if you are under stress....writing in a journal releases a lot of tension and even venting to a great friend helps as well. Good luck and I hope I helped.
