As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I have a lot of dark times. Nobody takes these thing serious in my life so it just leaves me by myself to think and think. When I start to think, it always ends up with me thinking about killing myself. It scares me because I feel like if I have a stressful enough day, I might do it in the heat of the moment. Im not sure how to get help. I used to have a psychologist, but my anxiety wouldn't let me talk to her so she said she couldn't work with me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I wish I was making that up. Anyways, I have come here to ask others for ways I can help myself get out of these dark thoughts. I will try anything. Im desperate at this point.

The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
At times I suffer with depression and anxiety disorder. Being a Christian I'm always trying to find a way to cope, especially when I'm having a panic attack. Here's my go to scriptures that helps me when I'm depressed or anxious.
Philippians 4:6,7 Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your heart and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.
So, prayer works for me. Also, studying the Bible and applying Bible principles help. I try to stay positive. Isolation is not good, so I try to be out and about. Having good family support helps. Actually, talking to someone when I'm depressed or anxious is very good for me.
Sometimes, though, you may need medication. You may need to choose another doctor. Hard to give advice to someone else because situations are different. Life is precious, it's a gift from God. But, Life can be overwhelming at times and we are imperfect humans. I hope you can find a way to cope with your situation.
I find hope and comfort in the fact that God promises that soon he will make all things new. There will be no more sickness, sorrow, and most of all death. Revelations 21:3-5 is another go to scripture of mine. There God does not only make that promise, he guarantees it.
Taking B vitamins will not help with depression/suicidal thoughts. Please talk with someone you trust, like a teacher, or school counselor. Or a different therapist. You should probably talk with your doctor as well. I'm sorry about your experiences! Please reply if you have any more questions.
When you have these kinds of thoughts, and no way to vent, they'll reverberate and accumulate / be amplified as they echo. If you could just speak out, they won't create as much pressure.
It's possible that psychologist was attempting a gambit to convince you to trust her, or not. Either way, a different approach may be required to overcome your fear. If the suicidal thoughts are severe, there's a hotline for that depending on your nation. You could try a different psychologist. Perhaps a psychiatrist, and prescription medication, if you've no objections to these. Though there's a limit to what can be offered online, there's a number of forums for people dealing with anxiety & depression, who could offer some consolation or coping techniques. Personally, I've been on help-qa dot com for a few years, there are some good people there.
