You've come to a good place in your life... by coming here. There are plenty of people to talk with, and many who will encourage you and give you support to help you realize your life has worth...you have worth.

Depression lies. It tells you lies, so it's best to put off such a major decision (like ending your life) if you can't think more clearly.

Tomorrow is another day, and another chance to make a change for the better. Small steps. Maybe you've taken on too much lately... things that are stressful (like college and a new relationship?) Time to focus on you

In the USA there are resources for free or sliding scale help... even talking with the social worker at the hospital ER is free, and she/he will have a listing of such local resources. There is often free counseling available through non-profit organizations. Maybe your MD will see you from time to time too?

Eating well and getting restorative sleep are things you can work on for now, and are very important to helping your mental health as well as physical.

Don't give up now...you just found PC!
