Take a deep breath and speak to either someone you trust or seek qualified help from someone else. I have found listing the little things that make me happy also helps and lets you focus on the positive things in life.

I've suffered from depression for a very long time. I can't count my suicide attempts on two hands. But I know that when I was feeling at my lowest, it really helped me to either call the suicide hotline and talk to one of them, or to call a close family member or friend to come be with me until I was forsure I was okay.

I should search for a professional help and someone to talk to and find activities that fill my time and give me pleasure to get away from my thoughts. The best way is to find an alternative and start thinking about positive things. Another way is to keep a journal about my thoughts and how I feel and what I want to do.

One thing: Ask for professional help. It won't make you insane or anything. It's just a precaution for you to not hurt yourself or anybody.

Try to do something physical. I usually take a run or do jumping ropes. I don't recommend reading books or Watching movies as these never worked for me. But when I do something physical I take my mind off from these thoughts. Also after the run, I have the urge to eat something, which I don't do when I am depressed. Try those. I hope you find those working.

You should contact a doctor and see if you are diagnosed with depression, if you already know, then find a therapist or counselor to talk to them about your thoughts and feelings. If you don't have a therapist/counselor, or would not like to have one, phone a suicide hotline.

If your depression gets really bad or you start having suicidal thoughts, you should talk to someone you trust who could maybe help you? Or you could contact a helpline that deals with helping people with depression and suicidal thoughts. From my own personal experience, talking to someone about what is going through your mind really does help!
