So the other day, my family and I went out to dinner. My dad is very critical of depression, and somehow it came up. He started going on about suicide. He said that suicide is immature and stupid, and basically that anyone who attempts or does commit suicide, is pathetic basically. And I’ve been struggling with depression, so I feel like if I commit suicide, he’ll just be critical. He doesn’t care. And half my friends hate me because “I’m so freaking stupid and I need to get over everything or kill myself.”

I wouldn’t call people who say things like that to you, “friends”.
Yeah I meant that as in people I used to consider friends. But I agree. They aren’t my friends at all.
Sounds like you’re very lucky to have such a supportive family and circle of friends to help get you through this lol.
Your dad’s ignorant and your “friends” are jerks.
Try to get professional help if you can. Also keep contact with others who are detrimental to your healing to a minimum. You’re in a very fragile state right now, so you need to be careful who you expose yourself to.
I am getting help, I have a therapist, but it’s not helping. I’m getting worse. And I can’t stop. So many people are turning on me.
Damn therapists, I’ve had multiple. If someone is turning on you, just ignore them. (Hardest thing ever, I know, lol) However, totally worth it when they see that you don’t care. They act shocked for a bit, but then they make it worse. When that happens act above it all. Pretend that you are above it and can’t even hear them. Then find people that DO care.
Quoting a song here- “Why is it so hard to find someone who cares about you, when its easy enough to find someone who looks down on you” Adam Gontier, Three Days Grace, Someone Who Cares. But when you find that someone, it’s great.
I’m trying, it’s overwhelming though. 🙁 I’m trying to find new friends, but my school is a little small, so its hard. Thank you.
Your welcome, if you need anyone to talk to, AmpharosSoulEater@gmail dot com. Is my email. Try to move to a different school, that’s what I did. And even if you can’t, seek out the little things in life, a rose bush on the way to school? Wait and make that your reason for living. Every day you can smell it and remind yourself that life is a miracle in all forms. Including you.
