What should I do when my depression starts getting severe or I start having suicidal thoughts?

You should consult a doctor, maybe go see a therapist. In emergencies you should call a suicide hotline or visit the emergency room.

You should immeaditely seek help. The National Suicide Hotline can help you. 1800SUICIDE. Remeber, suicide is a permanent solution to a temp orary problem. You can get help, and you are more loved than you know.

Call a suicide helpline immediately and talk to them with an open mind. Listen to them and take their advice

Reach out, there are resources out there! You are not alone. 24/7 hotline for callers in the United States. 1-800-273-TALK or 1-800-SUICIDE 1-800-799-4TTY (TTY/TDD)

From my own experience, I'd say a counselor is an invaluable resource. But, it can be hard to figure out how to find a counselor if you've never had one before. Talking to a friend, family member, school advisor, GP, religious leader, or psychiatrist are all ways to start seeking support. Just make sure you talk to someone you think will be likely to validate you and seek to understand and support you. In addition to counseling, you might consider trying: journaling; talking to friends/family or a support group; DBT or CBT workbooks; a gratitude journal; psychiatric medication. And, if you have suicidal thoughts that take the form of a plan or any preparations, it's time to call a hotline. Even if you don't want or need to call a hotline yet, I think it's a good idea for everyone to have a crisis or suicide hotline number in their phone or wallet. I have three hotline numbers and an advice nurse in mine! I put multiple numbers in my phone so that I knew if I called someone and got scare or upset or insulted or it wasn't helpful and I hung up, I could call someone else. It doesn't matter who you reach out to so much as it matters that you reach out. Things do get better, it just takes time and a heck of a lot of effort. I hope you can find the support you need! Take care.

Do things to get your mind off of it!! Talking to your friends or family, or spending time with those you love helps a lot. Listening to happy upbeat music is also great in this situation. If you feel like you can't talk to anyone that is in your family, or even friends, a school counselor is a great person to talk you through the situation:)

The best thing I could do for myself when I was in your situation was to surround myself with people (or pets). Being alone made things a thousand times worse. It's so important to have support, even if it's just some cuddles with your pet or a movie with your friend.

Surround yourself with things you love(for me it's old jazz vinyls,warm bubble baths,funny films,my dog and soft blankets :)also communicate how you feel with those you love,DO NOT suppress anything.also be aware of your inner monologue.it can be remarkably destructive.to do this you simply watch your breath,be in the present moment and "watch" your thoughts go by,like one would passing clouds.do not label the thoughts(ugh,that was a bad/stupid thought)not not try to stop them.just let them be.soon you you will fid yourself a little more relaxed and aware.also don't chaste yourself for feeling things.if you want to stare at the ceiling for a little while,go ahead.if you feel sad and pitiful,be sad.don't try to fix or change things(no that doesn't mean stop going to therapy) just let go of everything and attempt to relax in this most awful time.

Seek medical attention or see a therapist. They can help you through it and talk about it and support you.

Talk to ur parents/guardians, about seeing a professional. No ones life is worth throwing away, and if ure having such thoughts its best to get the the root of why your having those thoughts.
