Chosen by Grace - Eternian	Without God's love, you will always crave more and more and never be content. Without a friend that gives you an honest answer when you want one, who gives you one out of love, you will always feel some misery. And if you only have friends that flatter you, you may be depressed knowing that they are doing so because they want to take advantage of you in some way rather than truly loving you, or loving you with a pure love, love which isn't self-seeking. Also, you may have a poor diet which is causing a chemical imbalance or making you depressed due to its blandness, have past trauma that is still bothering you because you don't know how to deal with it or because it was very painful, are encountering unpleasant smells often (like perhaps from a new rug which smells bad), have bland surroundings (you may want to decorate your walls with posters), have unpleasant parents, don't have friends or ones that give you bad to no advice when you ask for the help or when it's obvious you need it, you may have a boring getting-no-where life, or you may feel as if you're not getting your way in general (which frustrates everyone who feels that way). I had problems with depression and suicide due to my parents neglecting my education, including knowledge about right from wrong, and not having much interesting or helpful to do. I also got bullied at school for how I was dressed and appeared before I was 14 and of course, instead of the bullies being punished I was the one who got stuck in a miserable substitute for a "normal" public high school and had next to no friends while there (and still have about none). Soon after attending that school I was bullied by the police off an on a few times. Other miserable things happened including being repeatedly kicked out and being mistreated at nearly all the jobs I had by coworkers or bosses who harassed me out of them. But, God saved me and helped me beat my depression and allowed and helped me to accomplish some great things that I can take comfort in having accomplished no matter how miserable. I'm still depressed sometimes, but it's not as bad now since he's opened my eyes. Check out the link in my profile if you are interested in spiritual help, which I found has been a lasting and permanent solution heading towards perfect peace. I hope you show the link to others.

mandalaybay16	Self-help organizations have become potent allies for people who are coping with mental illness or who care about someone with such an illness. For depression or other mental illnesses, self-help groups include: National Mental Health Association (NMHA): (800) 969-6642; or, in a crisis: (800) SUICIDE (784-2433) National Alliance for the Mentally Ill (NAMI): (800) 950-6264 Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance: (800) 826-3632 Or...

debbri48	Hey JA, life is hard for Everone. We all feel like jumping off a bridge or turning our car in front of a truck. But we dont because we still have hope that today or tomorrow will be better. What I have found and I hope it works for you is not to think about what is bad in my life that day but what is good. Even if i can just find one thing. I keep thinking on that one thing and hope for more. Its so easy to just take pills. And that maybe what you need. But I think that most of us just need HOPE. Hope that we can see that light at the end of the tunnel. As long as you can keep seeing that you will be alright. I know this is going to sound corny but there is prayer and that too helped me. But at lease I had someone to talk too. Just be glad that you woke up this morning. You are already ahead of some. So you see there is hope. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

J	first call up samaritans, and speak to them about how your feeling, then if youir still not ok after, try nhs direct nd see if they can help, if you go to A&E (which is also a good idea though I know you dont think so) they will call out the duty psychiatrist who can help you. They can prescribe mood stabiling drugs, sleeping drugs, antidepressants, or if you want, admit you as an inpatient until you are more stable. Be honest with your CPN, if you feel bad, say so, they may not be able to help then and there (and then again they might) but they are there to do a job and it involves your participation and your input. Try also a different hospital, if they ask why you were not at your neasest tell them you have personal relatives or people who know you too well and know you wouldnt be able to be honest about how things are. Or tell them you were over at a friends and dont think you will make it home. But either way dont keep it to yourself, speak to someone! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Paddington	Obviously we don't know your history, but I know how crap psychiatric services can be, so call your GP and explain that you are feel rough and your don't know what to do. You could also explain that you have talked to your CPN who is unsupported and that you'd wish to change to one who is, if this is something you feel will be better in the long run. Do not harm yourself just because you feel you are known to the nurses at the A&E. If they know you then they will have background and that is good. They are there to do a job, not judge you. So if you feel you need to go, then you must go. You must keep safe and this is your priority not what some doctor or nurse thinks! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

The Instigator	proper diet and exercise is crucial. start taking fish oil pills. stop all junk food, all processed/refined food, all bad fat, all high-sodium food, most sugar, and probably caffeine too. eat only all-natural foods. look online at a few lists of 'superfoods' and mostly stick to eating those. get cardiovascular exercise, most days. try it out; what do you have to lose? give it a couple of months before you consider giving up. i know lots more in case you're interested. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Makemeaspark	As long as you are in Crisis get in the habit of taking a brisk walk every morning. This will get your brain chemicals released to create a sense of well being. Next, you need to get involved in something new, a new hobby, church group, book club, class in something that interests you. You also should be making to do lists every day, of manageable size, put only what you can reasonable accomplish in a day on the list. Then post it on the fridge and check off the things as you accomplish them. I would like to see you get a therapist who can help you with Cognitive therapy, this is where they help you retrain your thoughts to not get you back in depression again. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Nat	Right now, you must stop. Ask yourself - why am i here on earth? Why at this time? What is my purpose? Why is this happening to me? Dear, God made you not a failure, not sad, not depressed - but He made you in His image! But all this that you are going through shows that the devil is trying to stop you from living a great life! There is something great in you that the devil is trying to kill! You must realise the treasure in you and announce it to the world and live it! Dont worry what people say or think - dont limit your happiness to things or people! You must decide right now to be happy! Ok???!!!! :) Your disappointments of the past will be turned into testimonies!!! Let me know how you are doing! :) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

144289	Tell yourself it'll be better next week Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mia	My practice therapist gave me the shrug when I told him I was feeling desparate again. Less then a week later I was in A&E again, with another overdose. It is not a nice feeling when you are trying to be honest, and it takes a lot of courage to say these things, and then to be told to go home. I would seriously call the samaritans, and tell them about your problems. Also go to your gp, or even A&E (I don't blame you for not wanting to go back there) and ask to be refered to the crisis team, that way you have a phone number 24/7 to call if you feel really bad at any time and they can send people out to you (I am currently back on my local crisis teams books). Try to find a release for your feelings, writing, drawing anything. Another tip may be to remve anything you could seriously hurt yourself with from your reach. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peroxide.pixie	Woah, I am really sorry to read this, I am shocked she just told you to go home, as you sound like you need someone to talk to. I think if you have a mental illness or you are so depressed you are considering suicide you should be honest with yourself and others and get some professional help. I am not an expert on this by any means, but I think you need to try and collect your thoughts and try to act rationally. This is a number for the Samaritans helpline 08457 90 90 90, these people are trained to listen to you whilst you are feeling this way, they will talk to you and might point you in the right direction for some help. I would try to keep yourself busy, to take your mind off of things and how you are feeling. Going for a walk to clear your mind might help, or read a book, I would in the meantime try to get some help sweetheart, as you deserve to live a happy life, there are people there to help you. xxx Was this answer helpful to you?

coolrocksharron	Have your tried ringing the Samaritans? They are there to listen to you, I hope things get better you you xx Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Haley V	There's not much to say, once a person gets to this point. I would know, I've unsuccesfully attempted, quite a few times. The thing is, it's extremely hard to actually kill yourself. And at best, you'll end up chained to a bed in a seedy hospital, wanting to go back home. Life is too short. Find out what the catalyst for your suicidal feelings are, and stay away from it. Mine was liquor. I hope you feel better, post something later so I know you're doing okay. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Caz	I would go see your GP and tell him exactly how you feel He may be able to prescribe anti-depressents and recommend you to a psychiatrist Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
