You need to see a psychiatrist urgently or you better admit yourself to a behavior health center.

It is not feasible to provide an opinion without additional history, physical examination may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor.. Depression is treatable. Counter-intuitive as it may seem, exercise may help. Start with low intensity exercise such as walking and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Drink more water. Wish you good health!

Contact the suicide line in your area if they have one. Find a close friend or someone you trust to talk to. Your too young and smart enough to know about your problem. Consult a therapist immediately for help, you have a long life to live and to have a beautiful family some day. Be strong, courageous, hopeful, and willing.

Since you have made a suicide attempt your life is at risk and you need to have help immediately. Please call your Doctor and let the people who care about you know you need help. Please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline 988.

It is urgent that you engage in a treatment program ASAP. Medication is not the sole answer. If you are acutely suicidal an inpatient facility is a good start. If you fail conservative measures, a consideration for electroconvulsive intervention might be appropriate. Do get proactive, do regular aerobic exercise, learn meditation, and work with a psychiatrist..
