But one thing ; please don't commit suicide again . Life is worth more than that . Imagine your boyfriend , friends and family, who love you so very much grieving over your death . You don't want that do you ?
That's all I can really say ;

One of the best ways to deal with the symptoms of depression is to help to another person. Think of all of those kids out there who are just beginning to walk down the path you have been on for a long time. Think of that young kid who feels as if they just can't go on anymore. Tell them your story and give them some knowledge on the subject. It is pretty hard to feel down and useless when someone needs your help. Volunteer at something you believe in. Force yourself to get out of bed and accomplish one thing on a daily basis, even if you don't feel like moving. Excersize brings out endorphins and dopamines that give you a natural high. Many times people who are depressed are the most caring sensative people in the whole world, which is why they get hit so hard by the sadness around them. Please-please-PLEASE-don't give up. You never know what the future will bring. A good book that always makes me feel better is, "Oh, the Places You'll Go," by Dr. Seusse. Also, I know you have tried counseling before, but maybe if you found the right person they could really help you work things out. [ kristamikele's advice column | Ask kristamikele A Question ]

What he taught me was that you have to want to change yourself in order to do this, (of course you probably already do) but what he did was change his personality and outlook of himself. Try to go out with your friends. preoccupy your time with other things that you could be doing with them.once my friend had gotten out of his depression, he had said that he regretted wasting so much time on being depressed. He died 2 years ago in a car accident. (not by committing it himself though) he finally was at the time that he was happy and then his life was taken away from him by riding with a drunk driver.
I hope things work out for you, and enjoy life while you can with the people you have. From experience... when you hurt yourself, you also hurt others around you. [ airhead2488's advice column | Ask airhead2488 A Question ]
