why don't you just go away?

Well, depression is quite common, but yes, I can see why people would think that. Maybe you should see a doctor? You have a right to feel, but don't do anything stupid you won't be able to fix in the long run.

Most depressed people do some crazy stuff.. That is one of them. Thats why someone might think that.

I was really depressed one day when I dropped my frankfurter and I received some unwarranted attention.

Sorry if your depression is unrelenting. Who is the "everyone" who thinks you're going to kill yourself? If more than a few people are coming to the same conclusion maybe you're sending out that signal.

Do you temporarily have "the blues", or do you actually suffer from depression? Of course you have a right to feel, and they should let you have and express your feelings. But if they are worried about you, it's probably because you have exhibited signs of depression, in which case you might need to see a professional to help with any chemical imbalances.

Self-destruction takes many forms more subtle than suicide or death. No one can prevent your emotional experience. Perhaps you are misinterpreting concern and helplessness from those who think you are important to them.

Probably because most people link "depressed" to "severe depression" in their minds. And yes, they have a right to be worried, never think they don't. Easiest way to deal with this is to acknowledge their concerns and promise to go to a doctor and get medication if you start feeling suicidal. And, no, you are right, you can have depression without having severe depression. If you do, like I do, I will tell you that there ARE ways of dealing with it. And please, be aware that long-term minor depression can make you physically sick and end in severe depression. So, if you have minor depression, try to make it a habit to pull yourself out of it as soon as possible. <Okay?>
