I’ve had depression for a number of years. My parents work all the time and I wouldn’t consider my family to be close anyway so i’ve always been independent. When I was 11, my dad left my mum because she was an alcoholic but came back after 3 months. My mum lied to me for years about how he had left for another women but no..it was because of her and I was only told this 4 months ago. I’m not really close to anyone. I literally don’t care about anything anymore. It makes me laugh how even my dad thinks I’m not depressed, he thinks its just some teenage “mood”. Wrong. I went to my doctor and he gave me medication because he diagnosed me with strong depression symptoms. its funny how i used to consider suicide as a thought that everyone had but it turns out, it isn’t so normal. i just don’t know what to do..so whats next?

It ultimately depends what you want to do with you life. There’s millions of possible choices to make and do what you want with your life. But do you want continue living or cease to exist?
Think about it.
So what’s next?
Having suicidal thoughts is not that abnormal, i believe most people have them sooner or later, but when they start taking over, that’s something entirely different. Good thing is you are getting help, try finding things you want to do with your life, things that make you happy or keep you busy, i guess that’s what’s next
I’ve often pondered this; what percentage of the population has suicidal thoughts? What constitutes an abnormal amount of suicidal thoughts?
Keep at the medication, sometimes it can take a while to start making a difference; sometimes you may find it doesn’t work and they may switch you to something else, but keep the faith in the fact that you are doing something to change the way you feel about your life.
It’s only up from here
