Im really depressed and dont know how to stop this feeling?

[Anonymous]

I've been depressed for two years now... I hate myself and the way I look. People say im pretty quite often but I honestly never believe them. I always act happy but inside i feel like im on the verge of tears. So yesterday we were in a group talking, and someone asked me in a joking way; have you ever considred comitting suicide? I was like: yeah maybe i have. He said: why didn't you? I wish you did. You should probably still do it. When he said that i really wanted to kill myself. All this time i feel like nobody would miss me and i try to convince myself that people will. When he said that, and nobody even said anything about it, my heart broke. Nobody would miss me and that hurts. I really dont want to feel this miserable. I feel like there's no future for me. Please, any advice?

My heart goes out to you. That kid is a total prick and I'm sorry that you're going through this.

I know you may not want to hear this, but the only way to snap out of this is to get professional help.

Here's another way to look at it. When you think of celebrities, doesn't it seem like their lives are perfect? Well, it isnt! Catherine Zeta-Jones and Haden Penetiere were treated for depression! You would've never thought that, right?

Get professional help, sweetie. I wish you well.

Thank you so much. The problem is my parents... I don't know id you want to know any more details but my parents are in denial. They think its just a seasonal thing. I know its not because it doesn't go away nomatter the weather or whatever. I asked my mom for medication or at least a doctors appointment and she doesn't take me seriously. Makes me wonder what i have to do so that people realize im serious as hell..

You're welcome.

As for your parents, they're incredibly naive. Have you ever thought about having a talk with a guidance counselor? Maybe the guidance counselor can convince your parents that you're dealing with a serious medical condition.
