I'm not sure if I can be bothered to do anything about this- I don't particularly want to be happy because I can't remember what it's like- I just want to die, really. Why should I see a doctor?

Replies Anonymous Posted at 3:28 am on Jan. 3, 2009 thanks but if I died I wouldn't suffer anymore and I wouldn't be able to miss being happy. We only instinctivley want to live because otherwise we'd all have killed ourselves already. xxpsychoxx285xx Posted at 4:41 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 you should see a doctor because the depression could be caused my a chemical imbalance. and also untreated depression often leads to suicide. as much as you think you want to die, you probably really don't. usually people are suicidal because they think death is the only way to escape the pain they are feeling. i've been there, often go back...unfortunately. however through out the 5-6 years that i've suffered from depression, i've learned that i don't really want to die, even if i feel like it on a regular basis. go to a doctor, get some support...depression is not fun. coming out of it can be really hard, but i think it will be worth it in the end. vllybllstar Posted at 4:41 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 umm b cuz there are ppl out there that really love you and care for you. for example me! i dont necessarily have to be best buddies to care for someone. people love you just keep that in mind. stealthy jesus Posted at 4:35 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 You should see a doctor, go to a priest and admit all the bad you've done, or just go to a friend and talk to him/her about why you feel that way. Of course there are other ways. Erebus Posted at 4:34 pm on Jan. 2, 2009 So you can get happy pills.
