Question
should I die?
My life is so horrible right now I can't handle this.
My best friend just died, and uhh, I don't know what to do.
Answer
Emily,
I found your question in the pool and thought I would respond. First, I am sorry to hear about your friend’s death. This must be a horrible time for you. Please reach out to speak with someone as soon as possible. Call 1800suicide to speak to a live person about what is troubling you. There is hope and people are out there who can help. Next, Call your doctor and tell she/he that you are feeling very depressed and need help. The doctor can start some meds and refer you to a therapist of psychiatrist for specialized care. Third, let your family know how terrible you feel (if they are supportive of you) or tell someone you trust. You need to talk about how you feel. I hope you feel better soon. Call the 800 number.
Good luck,
Chris
