Thinking lately a lot about suicide. Maybe I should run away?
I've been thinking lately a lot about suicide. I have attempted it once, but ended up in the hospital, this happened a over a year ago. People said it'd get better, I've been trying really hard, but everything is just getting worse. I'm on meds, i have a doctor, therapist, and psychologist. I almost killed myself the other day, but failed because i was to scared. Now I'm thinking, maybe I should run away?

Are you on anti depressants? If so you need your dosage changed and maybe be on some watch until you figure out what medicine works for you. I am not saying you are crazy. Suicide and running away is never an option unless you are seriously being abused in which you go to your local police station and file reports. explain the situation and they well help you out of the abuse.

Hopefully the doctor prescribing medication is a psychiatrist. If not that is the first thing you need to have changed. Depression, which is what I believe you are suffering from is best treated by a psychiatrist. I know because I have suffered with depression for some time.
If you are being seen by a psychiatrist you need to call the doctor today, now, and make the doctor aware that you attempted suicide and failed. This is very important as the doctor may need to change your medication. You should also call your therapist and make the therapist aware that you are in trouble and in danger.
Running away is not the answer. You cannot run away from depression. Whatever is causing the depression will always be with you. By saying your thinking of running away I am hearing that it is possible that the problem that is causing your depression, in your mind, is something at home.
Have you told this to your doctor and therapist? If not you need to so they can help you and help rectify the problem. I know talking about certain things to strangers, even doctors, is hard. Just remember that anything you tell them and I mean anything no matter how hurtful or how embarrassing you believe it to be will never be told to anyone else.
Your doctor and especially your therapist are your confidants. Your therapist is the person you can tell anything to and they will not feel bad of you. They will help you work through any problem you may have.
The most important thing about working with a therapist is being comfortable with the therapist. Now I'm just guessing here; given that you are writing to us, you are a teenager. If you are working with a therapist who is between the ages of your parents age to your grandparents age, you may not be comfortable talking to that therapist. I understand this and you have every right to have a therapist and doctor you are comfortable with.
So what do you do. The answer is simple. If you are over 14 under Federal Law all you have to do is say something. Tell the Therapist, politely, that you would be more comfortable working with someone younger, someone who is not as old as your parents or grand parents. If they are good doctors and therapists they will understand. If you are more comfortable with a male or female says so as well.
When it comes to treatment for depression getting well is all about us. What we need to get well. I went through three therapists until I found one I was comfortable with. When I did I started to get better.

suicide and running away is not the answer. If you are still thinking about this you obviously ned more help because you only live once and it would hurt everyone who cared (which is more than you think) about you and leave them worried they did something worng. Get more help because the people you may be working with right now are not helping you. Just do'
