I truly have no way to treat my depression but it's unbearable now. the er is my only option but wouldn't lying about being suicidal be wrong?

Seek treatment: Why is there no way to treat your depression? Is it an insurance problem? Do you have a PCP who could help? Going to an ER does not mean that you have to lie. Tell them exactly how you are feeling, whether you are actively suicidal or not. If you are feeling as bad as you say, you can't just wait for it to go away. It will only get worse. I would be interested in how this works out for you.
