Q: Hey, I am really depressed. I hate myself. I hate my personality and I want to change. Can you help me? I keep thinking of suicide, but maybe this will work.
A: What will work is going to see a psychiatrist who can do two things for you:
1) Discuss medication possibilities.
2) Arrange for you to see a therapist in person on a regular basis.
Depression is a serious matter. We all get depressed sometimes, I guess, but there are different degrees. And anyone who “keeps thinking about suicide” must get the best care available.
Please don’t hesitate. Call a psychiatrist or a good local therapist.
