My suicidal thoughts seem to be a little less today. It's taken over three weeks for this!

Yeah it'll take Prozac about two weeks to get through the blood -brain membrane, once it does and you feel better, don't be tempted to suddenly stop taking it, completely follow your doctor's orders and continue with the Prozac.

I feel your pain.  I hate to sound like everybody else, but suicide does not solve anything.  I am not a therapist, I am simply a guy that knows exactly what you are going through.  I have been dealing with a severe case of depression for a coupple of months now.  I also have had some pretty dark thoughts about how things would be if I was no longer around.  I know you said you don't want to see a theripist.  That is exactly the same way I used to feel.  I at one time felt very alone in this  world.  I thought the entire world was hell-bent of making my life harder than everybody elses.  I would see happy people out and about and it made me want to throw up!  All I wanted was to just have one day where I did not feel any pain, physically or mentally.  I was not wanting to be the richest most popular person in the world, I just wanted to be happy... I did not think that was too much to want out of life.  One day I found myself sitting in my car looking for a good place to put an end to my suffering.  For some strange reason, I just drove home.  The next day I woke up and made an appointment with a theripist to try to get some help.  I have been seeing her for a few months now, and I am feeling pretty good.  I also was perscribed Zoloft.  I used to be against just "masking" symptoms with Meds, but I really do have to say the Zoloft really does seem to smooth out the bumps of everyday life.  \nBack to you... I know you feel all alone in your depression, just know it effects many more people than you would think.  It really does help to talk about what you are feeling with someone you feel comfortable with.  You say you are not afraid of death... I used to say the same thing, I used to think I had already lived "enough" life.  That is untill My best friend from college died a few weeks ago.  We were both the same age, It hit me like a ton of bricks... I have not lived a full life yet.  There are so many things I have yet to experience... I realized I was not ready to end things.  Sure I still get "down" from time to time, but the therapy has taught me to work through things, and not to always put emphisis on the negitive of every situation.  It may sound like a line of pure crap... But Positive Thinking really does work!  You are in controll of your life... try to look for the light at the end of every tunnel.... I assure you, things can get better, but you need to be willing to let those changes happen.  \nI hope I helped you out.  If you ever want to chat to somebody that has been in the same situation you are in, you can always e-mail me jam961@yahoo.com  Sometimes it is easier to open up to a sympathetic ear.  I wish you the best of luck!  I really hope you start to feel better.  Just remember, you are never alone, you have all of us here on Yahoo Answers to talk to.

Time heals all things! I was in the same boat about a year ago. I thought I was going to die, I wanted to die. The pain in my heart made me sick(literally), but then one day I realized hey it doesn't hurt as much as it did. It took me almost a full year to get over him, but now I am over him, and I just met the sweetest guy in the world. You just have to make yourself go out and have fun. I surrounded myself with fun happy friends and just made myself have fun. At first I was miserable, but then I started having a good time. Now I can be alone and not be sad. It just took time. I promise it will get better, just hang in there sweetie. If you ever want to talk, hit me up at clabarre81@yahoo.com.

What looks like a mountain of trouble and heartache today, may be just a little bump in the road tomorrow. You must see a Doctor. Do what the doctor tells you. Depression is real, it is dangerous...it is treatable. Believe me, I suffer from it myself. You have to want to survive, believe in the goodness of yourself. Your family loves you. They may not understand you...but then, no one is ever completely understood by their loved ones! Do you understand them?  We are all unique in our own special ways!\nSee, you have come to this site for help...that is a wonderful thing,,,you are reaching out for help...I am so proud of you! Now, go a step further, go to someone else, get a doctor. Tell someone who can get you to real help. You are in a survival mode...be your own best friend! Suicide is not the answer...get help right now...

It will get better.  You may just be stressed.  This is a rough time for you.\n\nIt sounds dumb, and you probably don't want to hear it, but never underestimate the value of a few good nights' sleep and eating properly.  Get some fresh air ... go for a walk.\n\nYou probably just have a lot on your mind.  I get that way too.  It's OK.\n\nTake a breather.   Focus on the simplest things ... sleep, eat and a little fresh air and quite time by yourself.  I find a good walk really helps ... It's not stupid to talk to yourself either.  Sometimes, that's a very good way of figuring out what's bothering you and actually working it out.\n\nTry it.  It works.\n\n-- Alan

you really need to get off quick as posible!! how long have you been taking it this time? if only a couple of weeks just stop now and tell your doctor your stopping even if you can't get hold of him. if it's been a while just start to lower it!! YOUR HAVING THE BLACK BOX EFFECT WHERE THE ZOLOFT IS WORKING AGAINST YOU! REMEMBER NEVER GO BACK TO AN ANTIDEPRESSANT YOU'VE TAKEN BEFORE BECAUSE MOST OF THE TIME IT WON'T WORK. SO BE CALM NO ONE IS TRYING TO KILL YOU I PROMISE YOU THAT!! NOW, CALL THE DOCTOR AND IF YOU CAN'T REACH HIM CALL A RELATIVE AND EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON WITH YOUR MEDS. BUT, LOWER IT AS LOW AS YOU FEEL COMFERTABLE WITH AND IF IT'S ONLY BEEN A WEEK JUST STOP! GOOD LUCK!!

Keith, you are presenting with the symptoms of Depression.  What you are going through is not your fault and there is help for you.  I believe medication would be beneficial, but I also understand that going to a doctor right now may be more than you are able to manage.  I urge you to call the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-TALK.  I am truly concerned for you.  You may also e-mail me through Yahoo Answers. Take care and let me know how you are doing.\n\nKeith I wrote my response  to you yesterday evening but I have heard nothing from you.  Are you ok?  Please give an update.

You could keep a journal too, i've been journaling for about 6 years, i turn my feelings into songs. you've had a real hard life, you've gone through things nobody should ever have to go through, just remember, you aren't a bad person, and it's not your fault.

You're just going through a hard time right now. You wouldn't be here with out your parents and God all mighty as your creator. and you are surely loved by all of them ! if you are having suicidal thoughts PLEASE don't do anything like that. your family and friends then suffer for the rest of their life aching for you missing you and wondering WHY. I Know I have lost siblings to suicide. talk to a teacher a minister.your parents your doctor or anyone who can help you. given medication and time you will feel TONS better. Get moving as hard as that may sound get up and get busy go hang with some positive influence friends or family. do anything except sit there and let depression win. You are stronger than that.need a friend to talk to ? email me @ granpamma@yahoo.com Lots of people who don't even know you care. LIFE DOES GET BETTER !!! you are still young and haven't even got to really make your own life what you want it to be. the possibilities are endless and LIFE IS WHAT WE MAKE OF IT ! if you are doing drugs or alcohol STOP IT ......that causes major depression and Life does suck when you put that kind of crap in your body ! Love to you ! I will pray for ya !Best of Luck !

You're probably fine. I've gone through this before and it passed after a couple of weeks. Go find something fun to do. \nAnd it's not depression, everyone wants you to believe you're depressed.

I understand very well what you're going through. Even if things seem hopeless at the moment, try to remember it is only temporary. Are you on meds at this time? if so, they may need longer to take effect or may need adjusting. Are you in therapy? Pls talk to your dr and let him know how your feeling. Try to keep a journal of your moods and take it to the dr so he can see what adjustments are needed. Take care, and feel free to email me, I have bp and have a daughter with bp

I would like to say That I never have but one of my best friends committed suicide on the 13th November last year. Anyone who is contemplating it please, please, please speak to someone and ask for help. I know its hard to do this and every situation is different but it will be for the best I guarantee it!

I can relate to what you're going through. When I was 14, I attempted suicide. I was put into psychiatric wards, and sent away from home. I understand depression. But I can tell you, that it is the worst mistake I ever tried to make. I didn't realize that until it was almost too late. So if you want to kill yourself, it depends on what you're taking. If it's a strong medicine, take the entire bottle. If not take two whole bottles, wait an hour and say goodnight.\n        I don't know what your situation is, but I strongly suggest not ending your life. Things may seem bad now, but they will get better. Trust me. If you need someone to talk to or vent to, here's my email address.... vigilantris@yahoo.com\n        Email me anytime day or night. I'll  be here, I promise.

yes you should be here it takes 3-4 weeks for Prozac to start to work and then sometimes your doctor will need to adjust the dosage to find what works for you I am sure it is hard to have your friends react the way you say they do but sometimes what people don't understand they react to the wrong way find yourself a counselor who does group therapy it can help to have someone who understands what you are going through to talk to if you are spiritual then reach out to your higher power for help as for suicide it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem please seek help  for yourself don't be ashamed or afraid to do so you are not he only person who has the problem you are dealing with and if you look you will find those who are willing to help you
