Seek help: Whatever you think you have done to disappoint your parents is not worth dying about. You are a person of intrinsic high value. If you have given your best effort and fallen short, try again. Learn from mistakes, forgive yourself and allow yourself to be forgiven. Get support from friends or loved ones and see a therapist. Call 911 or 1-800-273-TALK if you do start to feel suicidal.

Therapy?: Have you yet tried any form of psychotherapy? Typically, the optimal combination of things to treat emotional issues such as depression is medication (which, on your best day, is supposed to take the edge off symptoms) but the real gruntwork takes place in psychotherapist's consulting room.
