Totally second that.
Step one in getting help, is to realise, that you need it, and knowing it's there.
I have suffered from depression my self, and now I know the symptoms, so if it strikes again, I will be able to recognise it, and do something against it, before it gets out of controll. It can be realy hard, to realise, that there's something wrong in your head, that needs treatment, but depression is treatable today, eaven if it's not an easy state to get out of, and in the midle of one, there are no vissible exit signs.
How many knows, that just thinking about taking ones own life, is a clear sign, of a depression hitting your brain? And you don't need to have that kind of thoughts, actually it's not normal to have them, and if they are returning on a regular bacis, you need to se a doctor, in a hurry, and cry it out loud, to get the attention from everyone arround you.
Suicide is the #1 most egoistic action, one can do, and it allways hurts the wrong persons :!:
