So with the recommendation of a friend I have come here with a problem.

[johnthebassist]

I've been feeling kind of rough lately, and it's been going on ever since the summer. The thing is, there's been no great reason. The slightest things that shouldn't bug people tend to bug me, and I'll get pissed off over nothing important.

Also, on a few occasions, I've actually had thoughts of suicide. I'm not sure why, again, there was no great reason, but it came into my head.
But the other day, something DID happen (I don't really feel like sharing exactly what it was) but I got really upset. I wouldn't talk to anyone. And I came pretty close to running into the bathroom, telling my parents I was taking a bath, and just drowning myself then and there.

I know this isn't healthy. I realize there's something wrong with this picture. But I don't really know what to do about it. I've been just ignoring it, leaving it alone, thinking it's no biggie. But I told my friend, and she sent me here. She also told me to think about telling someone about this. I don't want anyone important to know, especially my parents, who would freak out, but I don't really want anything bad to happen over nothing.

What to do.

Well, first off depression(which is what it sounds like) really isn't something to ignore or put off to the side.
The fact that you've had suicidal feelings out of the blue should say enough about your situation. If you really feel that you CAN'T talk to your parents/family then you might want to talk to the friend who referred you here, if you can trust them enough to tell them how you're feeling then I don't think it'd hurt to ask them to help you out.

Maybe they could accompany you to a therapist or a local youth counseller, or be there for support when you decide to tell your parents. I know it seems impossible to explain this to your parents at the moment but it's a step you need to take.

Hope I could help!

You definatly have to talk to someone about it, I have been feeling the same way, but a counsellor or a therapist is a really good idea. I know its hard, but don't act on the suicidal thoughts. I hope you get some help with it to and I have to agree with Callwaiting, it does sound a bit like depression

Talk to someone about it. for the sake of your family your friends and you.

I have the same problem but without the suicide part,

from time to time i feel depressed and want to just stay in bed all day, there are no reasons that I can see. Some days i dont talk to anyone and just feel really down, the easiest things can get to me when i feel like this but i just keep on goin and try to cope.

Why don't you look into free counselling services in your area? Failing that, you can always ask at your school about a counsellor. You do need help dealing with this. The fact that it has only got worse with time means that you need to get some support sooner than later.

I know that it is a scary step to take, but it needs to be done. If you feel too anxious about going then you can always ask your friend if she will wait with you before you go in for your appointment.

Good luck

You sound depressed. You should talk to a councilor about it because they're professionals. But something such as a hobby or something you're interested in should keep you happy. For example, if you like playing guitar (taking a guess) then start writing your own songs.
