When I have suicidal thoughts, I always want to close myself in and hide from people. The best thing for me to do is the opposite. Finding a friend and calling them or asking them to come over.

I understand, I've been there. What I did is I talk to someone. Doesn't need to be someone you know if you are not talking face-face, can be someone in an organization on depression, anxiety, suicidal etc.

I think its always best to seek help. Dont suffer on your own, and allow yourself the maximum time to practice self care. If its going to keep you alive and happy. Then do it. Don't let anyone tell you different.

You should talk to your parents or a teacher, etc... and see a doctor because you really need help and you can't continue like that

It's very important to get the right help if your depression starts to become severe or you start to have suicidal thoughts. Here are some steps you can take: (1) Let those close to you know how you are feeling so that they can support you (2) If you feel suicidal call a national suicide prevention hotline or a mental health charity helpline like The Samaritans for immediate support (3) Make an urgent appointment with your doctor; be open with them about how you're feeling so that they can decide on the best course of action with you including medication (4) In the longer term consider making an appointment with a therapist or counsellor to help you work through things and get to a better place.

Get help immediately. Call 911, or a suicide hotline. Never deal with this on your own. I've been down that road, it's torturous and useless. Get help, now.
