+1. we don't really know what caused the depression. I had a friend 25 years ago who suffered with depression....the first time he tried to hang himself he couldn't do it...his family laughed at him...well he hang himself with the same extension cord that he tried the first time and was just there...it was a span of 3 months from the first try to the 2nd...Personally, I would avoid family and some friends, as they would react by saying, 'snap put of it', or just ignore the person. Been there, done that. Go straight for help at emergency crisis intervention, or, to a physician, if available in very short time frame.
Excacly. Once you feel a little better get yourself a bike or a motorbike. Bikes always make me feel better no matter how bad I feel. Riding weather is just around the corner.Stay away from drugs and alcohol and seek professional help
Whenever I see someone biking downtown in -20c through snow and ice; and I'm sitting in my warm car, I get depressed just looking at them.Excacly.

If you are having these thoughts, it is considered a medical emergency. Go to your nearest hospital emergency ward. As others have said, no booze or street drugs. Healthy eating. Get some exercise. Find a friend or three to hang out with that make you feel good. See a counselor or psychiatristHow do you deal with the urge or thoughts of killing yourself?
The absolute last thing you would want to do if seriously depressed is to do weed. Even the cannabis clinics warn against it for depressed people. The link you gave brings us to one of those organizations that are in it for the money, just like those you have accused of being no help. Do some real research into the psychotic effects of cannabis on a person’s mental state, and you will learn the damage done.Doctors and Medication will not work... This thing has been around and will continue - If there is a cure, the pharma industry will not give it cause they wanna make you more sick and get more medicines in return. Try Cannabis - coming from someone who have seen with my own eyes the recovery of someone so dear to me. You don't have to believe me but I know how it feels and this advice won't be beneficial for me as much as those who suffers in this. Go here - http://apollocannabis.ca/ - lots of them around too and hope this cure will continue to help more than being labeled as a bad thing because someone else wants to make more money.
May not work. Frankly, the solution is usually tied to the cause, and the cause for depression can be varied. Weed may for some, but not for others, Counseling may work for some, but not for others. Meds may work for some, but not for others.Doctors and Medication will not work...
You have a good grasp of the issues and possible solutions. However most medical practitioners, if not all, highly recommend therapy over all other means, for most people. Weed has been linked, I believe, to cause or worsen psychotic complications in most people.May not work. Frankly, the solution is usually tied to the cause, and the cause for depression can be varied. Weed may for some, but not for others, Counseling may work for some, but not for others. Meds may work for some, but not for others.
The trick is to seek help and start trying the various methods.
That in itself is therapy, honestly. Don’t reject it.I go to a hooker review board with a cry for help....
I suffer from mild depression. It is a chemical imbalance in the body, and I don't think its possible to heal that.Doctors and Medication will not work... This thing has been around and will continue - If there is a cure, the pharma industry will not give it cause they wanna make you more sick and get more medicines in return.
This is all bullshit. Who writes your comedy material? What universe are you in?If you call for help and tell them about killing yourself, the police will handcuff you, take you to an emergency room, and then you are going to wait in line in handcuffs. So, it is better to go there on your own. Either way, even when you go there without handcuffs, if they think you are a danger to yourself, they will involuntarily admit you. They will take all your belongings including shoes and phone, give you hospital gowns, and then make you stay in the hospital version of jail. Then you will have hours/days to stare at the ceiling and think about all the life choices that brought you to that moment. Just so you know.
Not my experience with emergency when I was admitted, and both the police and ambulance accompanied me into the hospital. Maybe, your situation merited that intervention, but not mine, and I had already overdosed on tranquilisers, and refused to go to the hospital.That is reality. I have firsthand experience. When you say anything that makes them think that you could be a danger to yourself, you are fucked until you see a psychiatrist and make her/him believe that you are not going to do anything. Hell, they were even going to handcuff me in the back before they realised that I wasn't too crazy and did it in the front. Next time, go read up before writing shit about things you don't know.

Not every situation is the same, thankfully.Not my experience with emergency when I was admitted, and both the police and ambulance accompanied me into the hospital.

Not every situation is the same. Don’t paint everything with the same brush. I truly feel sorry for your experiences, and hope that you are and continue to be better. If you want to talk about it, pm me. We often need to talk with those who have suffered or continue to suffer.
I think that we are in agreement. The intervention that is needed dictates the actions of the caregivers and law enforcement.Not every situation is the same, thankfully.
I've escorted a friend in mental distress to the hospital. The staff do watch for signs on whether the person may hurt themselves, and have lockable rooms close to the emerg that they use to hold people. I've been in them. My friend did not get admitted to the psych ward, but the doc discussed the option with me.
