I suffer from depression- I think I've suffered for it for five years and I know that I should see a doctor but I don't really want to. 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?

Your life means everything and you should be happy, that's how it should be.

So you can get happy pills.

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.

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.

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.

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.
