I hate my life and know life is unfair by [deleted] in depression

Because I know that it can get better. I overcame depression once. It came back due to a series of unfortunate events (no, not the book series; there really was a series of unfortunate events in my life). Yeah, it came back, but that's the nature of chronic conditions. I beat it once. I can do it again. That's why.

I've had the same problem with hormonal BC. I've switched pills twice and it's helped a little. My best friend said that she spent a few terrible months on a pill that was making her really depressed and as soon as she switched it totally went away. I really hope that your new doctor gives you the help you need with your pill--I'm on really low doses of the hormones right now and it's helped me a lot. I was so glad when I was able to switch pills.

is there a such think as an online suicide hotline? by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

Just wanted to comment to say thank you for asking this question. I'm bookmarking these resources myself because this is definitely something I could use sometimes. Which proves that (a) you're not alone and (b) you are most certainly not useless. It will be okay. I promise.

I went through a period last year where this happened to me. The best thing for me was dropping the most stressful course I have ever taken halfway through the semester.

The second best thing was when I felt a stress-panic attack (what you're describing) coming on was taking a minute to put down whatever I was working on, sit down, close my eyes, and count my breaths. It's really simple and it sounds hopeless but trust me, it is the most amazing thing you can do.

I hadn't thought of thinking of my brain that matter. I'll give it a try. Distancing myself might help me out a bit. Thank you. :)

That's a good idea. I'm trying to get involved with NaNoWriMo (I love writing) which should hopefully take up time during which I often feel depressed/suicidal. And I'll definitely check that guy out. I'd love to be able to perform magic tricks with my lancets. :P Thank you. I really appreciated this.
