I need help

    Hey all, first time poster.

    I drastically need help with my life. I'm eighteen years old, male, in sixth year, and living at home with my parents. I have been suffering with depression for about two years now, nobody knows about it except one female friend of mine. I really am at rock bottom right now and sturggling to keep going, nothing is going right. I quite often have suicidal thoughts. I don't have the kind of relationship with my parents that I can talk to them about something like this.

    As I said I'm in sixth year. I've always been fairly bright but not at all academic; I just can't concentrate and put my mind to learning something I don't care about. I've always been something of an underachiever. I had a course in college picked out that I wanted to do, but now I'm not so sure. How can I decide what I want to do when I don't even want to be alive? Thing is though my parents are fairly big into education and will probably insist on me going to college. I really don't know what to do.

    I'm a virgin. I've only ever had two girlfriends, each lasting about a month each. One of them actually chesated on me-twice including with a good friend of mine. I have acne. I haven't kissed a girl since last august. Pretty pathetic really all in all I would say! I've always had low self esteem and been shy, and I've never really been good or talented at anything, ever.

    Sorry for the essay style OP. I just needed to get it all off of my chest, I really can't go on living like this. I need advice, please.

    Hey there,

    We have a list of links HERE for both contacts if you feel suicidal and to help you deal with any issues causing you feel suicidal.

    For your own good we cannot give medical advice, you should make an appointment with your GP to get a proper diagnosis...and we are neither allowed nor qualified to counsel posters describing mental health issues.

    Please make an appointment with your GP ASAP.

    All the very best, OP.
