im 18 and i have been depressed for a few years. i think about suicide constantly and i have for a long time now. i have been hiding it and nobody knows. i want to let someone know but i am super shy and i don’t know how do bring it up. i cant keep going like this and i want someone to help.
My advice is to pick someone that you can trust or a group of people: parents, friends, other relatives. and write them a letter about your feelings, and ask them to read it in front of you.
This way you can say exactly what you need to say, and not get shamed into keeping in anything once they begin reacting.
depression and suicide are touchy subjects to discuss, but they MUST be discussed, especially for you, since you are thinking about it constantly.
Next, ask to see a therapist to get a better understanding of your situation.
Good luck, you want the help, so go out and get it. you can’t expect anyone to read your mind, you must say something.
