I am really stressed out and a lot of people always come to me for advice and help with their problems, I never minded before but lately I've been down. It's been 3 days &I can't seem to leave my house, I only go to the bathroom drink a bit of water then go back to sleep. I stopped talking to my closest friend who I have had strong feelings for, for 3 years after I was rejected. I ignore my family's calls my fish died the other day from neglect I feel worse for that too. I'm ready to shutdown and give up. I need help. I haven't gone to work or called in I don't even know if I'll make it the rest of the week. I hate myself. I can't talk to anyone close to me, they tell me I'm being overly dramatic and baby, for me to grow up. Then they presume to talk about their problems or themselves.

What you need to do as this is a crisis and you can't function is to proceed to the nearest emergency room and speak to a psychiatrist who can put you on the right treatment.
No matter what be BRUTALLY HONEST with him/her as this is your life and health and let them know you are suicidal as that's very important.
I can tell you know and this is for your own safety that they will want you to stay 72 hours so they can make the right diagnosis, put you on medication, and get you to rest. They can keep you longer legally if they feel you are in danger to yourself or others to you while ill.
All that happens is that this gives you time to rest and heal and be free of anything on the outside that is affecting you. Go on your own to do this as family are clueless that you aren't a baby bu rather someone with a very real psychiatric illness that won't go away unless treated properly. Believe me it's a big deal if you are depressed, not functioning and want to die. Don't ignore this it needs medical intervention pronto.
