You need to go see a psychiatrist, not a doctor.
Try looking in a phone book, or get your family doctor to refer you to one. Or, call the kids help line 1800-668-6868

a whole bottle of tylenol will most likely just put you in the hospital for a few days with permanent organ damage. Talk to your mom or a friend. your 15 and you havent experienced life yet

why dont you call the authorities yourself and tell them that you are suicidal or call the 1-800-suicide or talk at 1-800-273-talk. this is not something to play around with i felt somewhat depressed in h.s. then after i had children and had to work 12 hr days and was still having money problems/husband problems, i called this 1800 #, they were very supportive. email me if u want to talk. life is full to live i have a 7yr old and a 8yr old and i cant imagine living my life without knowing that they would live a long luife free of suicidal thoughts. good luck......

im 16, and ive felt the same way, be it whoever ( its really tough ) but TALK TO SOMEONE half the battle is finding someone to help. don't have anyone call 1-800-SUICIDE also once you do find the help you need and things start to calm down try postsecret they have lots of youtube videos send a card, you dont think it would help much but it feels so good to just get something off your chest, nothing's bad enough to risk your life, ive come to realize that and i hope that you do to, this will pass and things get better

You need to go to the doctor,and it's not uncommon for a teen to be suicidal,but you should go to a hospital. and if they give you medication for depression,ask them if the pills are addictive. If they are,go to a psychologist. Or be careful with them. My prayers are with you.

just an FYI it is NOT uncommon for a teen to be suicidal, get your facts together.
and no, you don't go to the hospital for being suicidal, you talk to a therapist.
and if you're scared, then yes talk to your mother.

hmm, well i'm 14, and i know a few people with that same problem....
i really don't know how to help you, ask a speshalist or something along those lines....
also, do you have anything to live for, like something you want to do or be?
1 more thing, cutting yourself, selfinflected pain, and crazy crap like that is not cool, most people just do it to seem cool, or are just freaken stupid.

you dont need to go to a hospital
hospitals are for physical injuries
you need a psycologist
