You can also talk to people just about the things that make you depressed and not even tell them you're depressed. So there are simply a lot of ways that it can help you. Of course, if you see yourself getting over it by yourself soon then you may not see any benefit of telling people. It might happen, but if you don't trust that it will then you probably would be safer talking to one or more people you trust.

To be honest, I have no clue what's wrong with me, except I'm becoming increasingly more depressed, sensitive, and upset. I've felt suicidal, and I haven't told anyone like I'm supposed to. No, this is not me saying I'm going to kill myself, so please don't delete this. This is me telling what I think is wrong with me. Something is definitely wrong, but I'm not sure what. I have been under a lot of stress lately, and I've been seeing a psychologist but it hasn't been helping. I feel like I'm going crazy. Do you think I should just tell someone before I really end up hurting myself or just keep it to myself and see if it goes away?

Aliboo Posted at 6:33 am on Nov. 12, 2008 Tell someone, because it wont go away on its own. you dont have to go through this alone. i hope you find solace soon. i know what its like to feel like that and not know why. Helios Posted at 8:30 pm on Nov. 11, 2008 You ask if you should tell, someone, just wondering have you not mentioned these thoughts and feelings to the therapist, If you need someone to talk to there is always 1-800-SUICIDE, and if you need someone right then either go to the ER or talk to a peer counselor at church or school. We all support you and want you to get better but that wont happen unless you decide you are serious about it.

Don't hold it in, it will only get worse. Most recent 15 of 15 previous replies displayed.
