Sorry for taking a while to answer... I was off sick for a bit.
If you think you have depression, you need to go get help. A counsellor can help you to figure out if you do have depression, what type, and what sort of treatment you're going to require. It may be as simple as going in once a week or every other week to discuss how to handle things, or you may need to step up to a psychiatrist in order to get medication.
If you are currently suicidal, you should avoid being alone. Stay somewhere near friends or family until you're out of this. If you don't have any nearby, if things get really bad, try calling a mental health hotline for your area. They are a great tool for when you're feeling really down.
As for what you can do for yourself, keep busy, even though you probably have no energy. Try to get a bit of exercise, because it makes you feel better. Avoid situations that will make you upset. Do things like making a list of everything you want to live for. Something I do when I'm depressed is browse this website:

It helps you to remember the silly little things you may have left off your list!
The most important thing to recognize is that you don't need to do this on your own. There are professionals out there who are more than glad to help you, but you need to ask them.
