depression with suicide thoughts

[brownie_4_ever]

i have depression with suicide thoughts, but i'm on pills for it. But sometimes then i'm in a bad mood it's 2 - 5 days before i'm in a good mood. Is there anything that can be done?

well brownies are high in sugar, and the come down is depressing...plus they plug you up...so yes I could see how all that sluggish activiity could lead to more crankiness......have you ever considered than the brownie solution might not be as warm and chunky as we wish it was....????????
It's like how much will bad nourishment make me feel less blue.....answer ...HUH????????

what can be done....well, there's death by brownie.....and then there the ever popular do what it takes to remove all the suiciadal stuff...which may mean focusing on others more, self less, and concurrently spend the time focused on self be productive yimes of real nourishment, not comfortfood bulging with stimulants that further suppress your mental health.

Brownie,
There are definitely things that can be done.  Are you seeing a therapist? Therapy can help you work your way through your depressed state.  While medication may help alleviate depression, you should not be relying solely on them to make you feel better.  Depression can come and go, but learned skills to help cope with it will help you tremendously.  Also, while it's hard to keep this in mind at depressed times, we change as we age, learn, and grow.  The experience of dealing with depression can help you to cope with it.   Other stress relievers such as exercise and meditation can help, but if you aren't seeing a therapist, you should.  And if you are seeing a therapist, and they aren't helping, don't be afraid to switch.  The way you relate to your therapist can have a huge effect on your therapy.

That was an incredibley insensitive answer and I have to suggest, if you don't care to help people, don't leave a reply. Or how about growing up a little? Someone is talking about suicide and you want to make a joke out of their screen name?  That's disgusting.

As for brownie_4_ever, what you are describing sounds like it goes beyond depression. You may also be bi-polar and if that is the case, you may need a new prescription. In the mean time, when suicidal thoughts begin, try calling a hotline or family member. If the thoughts are overwhelming, please, please go to the hospital.

Suicidal thoughts are scary but it is only a thought. Please hold on.  I know you can make it through this. Let go of your fears and trust someone. You can choose a friend, a family member, a shrink, a Doctor or god and let them help you. Know that mental illness is not a matter of fault, it is a matter of responsibility. It is ok to lean on others and let them take care of the world for a little bit so you can rest.
