Depression
I have been depressed for almost a year now, I hate going to school, I am home all day long, I hardly communicate with my friends or family, I am usually home all by myself when crazy thoughts takes over my head, I usually think of suicide but can't do it (guess I am too weak ) I hardly talk to anyone. I started taking marijuana few months ago and it is the only thing that has kept me going for so long, I know it's harmful for health but it helps me somehow. This depression thing, I have kept to myself but since it's getting more worst I guess it's time talk to someone now. BTW I m 17yo

Hello
You seem to be suffering from depression. Also, not being able to commit suicide is not a weakness...it is actually good that you are still going on with this condition.
You would need treatment for your depression...this condition can be treated and so do not lose hope
Marijuana would help you feel better initially but on a long term it would worsen your depression
So i strongly suggest that you should stop using that
You are in a bad state and i do understand that.. so please see a psychiatrist as soon as you can
Talk to someone and ask them to accompany you for the consultation
Next Steps
You can approach any psychiatrist close by...but do so as early as possible
