Hi I am 17 and I feel very stressed. Suicidal thoughts come into my mind and I tried very hard to resist them but I did a big mistake because of it. I cut my arm. At that moment I felt a bit relieved but then pain and stress was back so I tried some anti-anxiety pills nothing happened then also. I don't know what is happening to me. I feel like I'm gonna die or like someone is choking me. I cry and cry. I don't feel good at all. I tried to tell my parents but they are not bothered about me and they do not get what I am trying to say. They are not willing to take me to the doctor. I want to feel better for once inna very long time but I keep hurting myself. My brain has completely shut down for positive thoughts. All I think is negative. I don't know how to help myself now. Those anti anxiety pills I mentioned above is Alprax, I have them without any doctors prescription. Should I continue to take them? Because it makes me stop thinking for a while but I don't know how many I should take in 1 day. Please help me. I cannot do this anymore I am tired of myself.

Dear Lybrate user, I appreciate your courage as you've decided to seek help for the problems you are experiencing. Your safety and health is of prime importance. I suggest you to consult a Clinical Psychologist in person at the earliest. The professional would help you deal with these disturbing thoughts and feelings in an appropriate manner. Its good that you tried talking to your parents about it, but maybe due to their lack of knowledge or being unsure as to how they could help they could not provide the assistance you were looking for. It's not their fault so don't be angry with them for this. Also, please do not take any medicines on your own as you would not know which is the best for you. Consult a Psychiatrist in person for the same. Best wishes.
