Answers:
I think you need to see a professional. If you are having suicidal thoughts, that is moderate or severe depression, and does need treatment.
Here are my self-help depression tips. They may take the edge off until you can see a doc or therapist. PRINT THEM OUT and try a few!
If your depression seems to be more of a problem in the winter, try to get more sun. You could have seasonal affective disorder, or SAD, or your depression could have a seasonal component. A light box is good if you can afford one (about $300 online, don't get it at a local store, they will charge more for a light 1/2 as bright). Since I will always have a mood disorder, I have put in extra windows, keep the drapes mounted so they don't cover them, make sure I spend a lot of time in southern rooms, painted the walls peach and yellow. I even have a skylight ( it helps a lot!!!!!)
Try meditation tapes like progressive muscle relaxation or guided imagery. They may seem silly at first, but they work!! They help reduce stress, which makes depression worse. See The Anxiety and Phobia Workbook for some that you can make a recording of.
***** #1 MOST HELPFUL TIP Go out with friends, and if you don't have any, find a club to join and MAKE yourself go until you actually look forward to it.
