This didn't just spring up out of no where I tried to harm myself when I was 15, I just thought I had everything under control. It's got to a point now where my Dr gave my work a note telling them that I couldn't work over Christmas as I am showing symptoms of depression and severe stress. I suffer pretty bad with low self esteem issues and I am starting to get paranoid of everyone around me, are they real friends or fake? I've been let down so much that I don't know if I am truly alone anymore and its scary. I keep getting let down and it makes the thought of harming myself a good one. Can anyone help?

Hi Lostgirl,

See post #74 of this thread. It's got what I think is the best plan for dealing with depression.
