I've been depressed for years. I've been suicidal for periods of time. I've been told that I have a lot to live for, and that I've got my whole life ahead of me. I've also been told that I'm a prodigy and that I'll be famous someday. Depression and suicidal thoughts happen to the best of people, and I'm not in that category. I'm really lucky to have escaped depression and suicide.
In the future, 10 years from now, what you are depressed on will not be important. It might affect you, yes, but it won't be important.
I thought about all the people that thought I was great, prodigy, etc (even though I'm not) and who I would let down if I became suicidal. I thought about the people that really cared about me, and the people that loved me.
It became apparent that my troubles that I have gone through are insignificant. They're not very important in the grand scheme of things. They affect me temporarily. Whether it's parents, school, relationships, anything - know that you don't need to kill yourself to escape it. Take time. Take in the pain but don't think you have to react dramatically to it.
So I will reiterate what I've been told, in a different light: you have your whole life ahead of you. Whatever you're in, know that there ARE people that love you and care for you. NO matter what you're in. There WILL be many people affected.
And DON'T be silent about it. Tell your friends what's going on. What's the root of why you're depressed?
Everything will be alright, I promise.
