I have allot of home issues with my mum specifically and have been depressed for maybe two years now. My parents are in denial and ive been extreamly suicidal recently, im scared of myself and what i might do i cant talk to anyone or see anyone for more professional help because im under 18 and my parents wont take me im scared of fading away from everyone and i can feel it happening again. My suicidal thoughts have gotten to the point of asking my siblings to hide things like medication and razzors. Im scared im driving my S.O away I dont know what to do. Can anyone help?

    Listen Joanne, i think you are a nice person, Just because you are under 18 does not mean you don't have rights. If your parents won't tske you, call 999 from your nearest phonebox, ask for ambulance. Be honest with them, tell them how you are feeling. Depression is an ilness, not a weakness. Don't fade away. Your S.O. will be grateful. You won't drive him away.  . I've been where you are. Get back to me later, OK? Neville

      I feel like everyone is running so fast and easily and I'm stuck behind huffing and puffing like that's the best I can explain what I feel right now. Once again I considered calling an ambulance but I think, I've had experiences where doctors have laughed at me because of things like this and I'd hate to put an ambulance out of their way for me when they could be helping someone else I don't live that far from a hospital but I think I'd keep that to a last resort I spent allot of time in hospitals as a little kid because of my mum so I don't like them very much.

      Hi Joanne.d'you know what? I bet a lot of those people who seem to be running through life fast and easily have troubles that they don't want to admit or talk about. I think most pwople do. You are an honest girl. Don't let Dr's or anyone else laugh at you. How you feel is as important as how anyone else feels. If it gets so bad that you feel like hurting yourself, call, or go see a professional. Or just turn up at the hospital and say 'I really do need some help please'. They have a duty to make sure you get the help you need.

    If you feel suicidle in the UK call the Emergency number 111 and explain your concerns, they will triage and decide i you need to go into hospital I need to ask How old are you

    You can also go directly to A and E and they will plac you in safety.

    You can also present yourself to a police station or call them on the phone. If it is a suicide problems all the above will try and help

    O course the main person to see is your GP H will arrange a treatment plan for you so that you will lift that suicidle thought that dogs your life.

    If you are under sixteen you will need health support from your Parents

      Yes thank you SLD3 I saw the little AUS 

      I am not sure regarding the system out there, or the age restriction so it is awkward. I understand the system is different built around a health insurance and payment system. If She is fourteen She is below sixteen a mention of eighteen was mentioned. ??

    Being under 18 is tough. Have you a school counsellor you could talk to, that they may get your parents on track. Could you just walk in a hospital and tell them what you just said.  is there a crisis hotline. You could go to the police and tell them your intentions. Here,they would pack you up in a car, a doctor would see you and likely put you in the hospital under what we call a form. Meaning for so many days, usually a couple, theh can keep you there if you pose a threat to yourself. Your family would be on board then. I am from Canada and don't know how the system works in your area. Your parents might have trouble admitting that they have a young teen suffering from mental illness. They are making strides in undoing the stigma against mental illness, but please don't wait for that to happen. Do it quickly. Sounds like your life depends on it.

      I'm going to be seeing the school counsellor today hopefully and if not I'm basically just going to tell my parents I need help and ignoring this isn't helping anyone.
