I feel like I'm all alone I'm 13 in the 7th grade I look and at everyone and see they don't need meds to make them feel happy they don't know how I feel sometimes I feel like I would be just some distant memory of some boy that committed Suicide for depression and a week later every thing goes back to normal some people don't know how it feels that's why I feel like I need to die.

Hey darling. First of all...
I need you to take Andre back for me & breathe. Ok? Suicide isn’t the answer. It won’t solve anything darling. Let me tell you a secret, not everyone needs meds’ but for those who do... that’s nothing to be ashamed of. It doesn’t make you different or less worthy than anybody else

I guarantee you would seriously impact the people around you for a lot longer than a week. You are worth so much. Please don’t leave. I’ve struggled with symptoms of depression since I was 12-ish and things have definitely gone up and down since then. Trust me when I say it’s highly unlikely you will be dealing with this severe of depression for forever. Please try to power through it. Talk to your school counselor, or if you have a psychologist or psychiatrist talk to them about your feelings (if not perhaps consider seeing one, if you think that might help), contact one of these helplines: http://www.nowmattersnow.org/help-line, or go to the hospital.
The only thing that kept me around all this time is my Christian faith and the support of family and friends. Please hold on! You got this!

I am so sorry you are feeling this way. You matter very much to this world! You really do. Even though it may not seem like it now, God has a very special purpose for you, and if you give it time, He will reveal it to you. Middle school is and has always been an awkward time for most people. Even those who seem like they have it all together are experiencing the same struggles you are. Talk to God about it, and then listen to His calming response. He loves you very much and will help you through this tough time. Don't be afraid to reach out for help. I am praying you find peace and strength to keep plugging away.
