How do I handle things?

Lately my depression has been extremly bad. My mind can't focus on school or sports. My mind is just stuck.. My suicidal thoughts are getting so bad. I don't wanna live, but I don't wanna kill myself. I just have no one to talk to about anything that's going on. Everyone thinks I'm fine, but I know how bad it's getting. Just like last time.. But I can't go to the hospital. I just have to suck it up and keep going and act like things are okay. School has never been more stressful. I'm trying to keep up, but It's so hard when my mind just can't concentrate on doing work. I'm just too broken and I don't know what to do anymore. I don't wanna get into selfharm again, but I think I'm gonna..

It is stressful, you don't have to let it get to the point it was and there are people to talk to. You have Counselors at school. There are 800 help hotlines that will talk to you. And there are always your parents who you can go to and talk about getting you help from a Therapist or Psychiatrist. This is not the end of the world, but school and being young can be very stressful and hard to deal with at times, thats why you have parents to help you get the Professional help you need to successfully get through these difficult parts of life.

I have depression too, and it can be really difficult to focus and get things done. You don't have to suck it up though. If you have friends and family that can support you, please reach out to them. And I'm here too if you need! :)

Please do not harm yourself in any way. You need to talk with your parents so that you can get the professional help you need. Your parents love you and don't want anything bad to happen to you.

Thanks guys. All of yall said something about my parents and family, but i'm sorry to say that they don't care about me. My dad doesn't talk to me and my mom barely communicates with me. I can't talk to them because they don't understand and they don't care enough to understand. I tried to talk to them about it and they said to get over it. I only have 1 school counselor because I go to a small school, but I actually have a counselor that's not with the school, but I can barely see her because my insurance. And I only have 1 friend, but she doesnt actually care. She laughed when I told her I tried to kill myself. If you knew my school you'd know why I don't have friends. But thank you

I'm sorry you feel like no one cares about you. It hurts a lot to think that even your parents don't care about you, but I just want you to know that oftentimes, it's not that your parents don't care. They maybe worried and even scared, but just don't know how to help. Depression tends to warp our perception of things, so just be aware that things may not be exactly how you see them.

You are always welcome here to share yourself with us. Some of us have been through what you are going through now, and some of us are still walking through some of that dark path. You are not alone, even though you feel alone. You are precious. You are loved more than you would ever know.

um sadly i'm not doing any better. Kind of worse actually, but i'm really trying. Things have gotten really really bad, but i'll be okay. My friends are still blowing me off and won't try to help me. My mom and dad are just kind of blowing all my problems off. @AboundingJoy
