Reason For Depression, Dieting, Suicidal Thought, Stress , Weakness In A Teenager?

Hey, today I've come to this site to attempt to resolve my problems. From the period of September to now I've been having a lot of suicidal/self harm thoughts. The reason? I don't know. I've been very depressed since the beginning of Summer, but never thought it would lead to suicidal thoughts. Also in the week prior to Christmas I had a very strong urge to lose weight. I think I am overweight personally, but after researching average weight for my age group(15), apparently 77 Kg is pretty normal, however when I look at my body, it doesn't look average. In the past week I haven't eaten anything apart from dinner, I also don't drink anything apart from water mixed with salt after dinner in an attempt to throw up the food I have eaten, for the last 2 nights I have been very week and have been constantly vomiting during the night, I also can't sleep till about 6, and wake at 10. I haven't told my parents or anything as they would be disappointed, but I really feel I need help. About 4 days ago I met the prettiest and nicest personality girl I have ever met, quite frankly she is the girl of my dreams, however she lives in England whilst I live in Ireland, I honestly like her that much that I would quit school to move over to be with her. Times are great when we speak, but when she leaves I go back to my old state: Depression, dieting problems, suicide, etc. I also have exams in 4 weeks that I am stressed about, but I can't cope with depression, not eating, being weak. About 30 minute prior to this I was in my bathroom with a knife, but I wanted to wait for professional advice before harming myself.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns.

I went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. I warn you, you are not depressed, but distressed. Means you are dissatisfied with the negative situations in your life as well with the negative thoughts you carry unnecessarily with you.

You are worrying about, health, weight, food, your health, love matters etc, etc., Why all these worries? Don/t you have any other productive creative thinking to do? Like education and career? That is essential. you need to prioritize. BE A MAN.

You might need psychotherapy and other cognitive behavioral therapies. I can help you through telephone. Please do contact me through customer care of www.healthcaremagic.com for a telephonic consultation session.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. your aims. You are not here to just worry and think about suicide.
