Taking its toll on me already
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

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.

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 ^_^

No, you shouldn't commit suicide. What you should do is talk to your doctor. When you were diagnosed, were you prescribed anything? Are you seeing a therapist? Maybe medication or therapy is what you need. Trust me, it can help.

I've felt like that since I was 11. My parents were absusive. My mom and dad fought all the time (still do I just don't care anymore) and I couldn't find happyness in anything. I started smoking at the age of 11 (don't do it if you haven't already and if you have quit). At that age, I lost my best friend. He was a soldier in Iraq. He got shot in the left rib cage and the bullet managed to lodge itself into his heart. He died of internal bleeding and suffocation. I found friends who really care about me and showed it to me everyday. I even stopped eating, now I'm 100 lbs and 16 years old, sad huh. But my point behind all of this is that people really do care. You might not see it now but just give it time, everything works with time. That's why patience is a virtue. You have many things to come, marriage and kids and love. I would love to talk to you about your life and everything that's going on but trust me if someone didn't care about you, they wouldn't be giving you advice now would they? I mean, I bet I'm just some complete stranger to you but when I see something like this I want to make a difference in that person's life and I will try my hardest to do it. I care about a lot of people and I've been betrayed many times so I might have a slight idea about how you feel, I'm not saying I know completely because to be honest I don't know how your life is, but if you want you can email me or talk to me on msn or aim or something and I will deffinetly try my hardest to help you. Remember at least 15 people in this world love you for who you are, and the only reason someone would hate you would be because they want to be like you.
My email is DenyThineName@hotmail.com
Same for MSN.

No, you DEFINITELY should NOT do it. To you, it may seem like no one cares, but they really do. So many people would miss you, I promise. Don't do that to everyone else. I know it's hard to make new friends at 14 because I'm 15 and I still have the same friends since elementary school, but try talking to new people or start a new hobby. If your athletic, definetly do a sport, but if not try something like scrapbooking, or writing. If you are depressed, writing can let out all of your feelings. If you need anymore advice, just go to my column and ask. Hope I helped.
