I tried to tell my parents im depressed, but they won't listen. They said im only saying that because I want their attention. I don't though I don't care if they pay attention to me or not, but I want to go to a Doctor for help. I keep having suicide thoughts and it scares me, but I guess they don't care. All they worry about is my sister because she is better than me, she is more attractive, smart, funny, etc. And she is a bitch to me. Of course the find the things se says to be hilarious, but I don't it hurts me, it makes me think about suicide even more.

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. So when the color fades, it's time for another pill. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
Here's the deal! People are stupid. They see what they want to see, feel what they want to feel, do what they want to do and so on and so forth. Most of the time people are simply just not aware of whats going on. You would think that they would know and pick up on the fact that you are unhappy.Your giving them to muich credit. But they are also not entirely to blame. Mostly but not all. There's an old saying " you teach people how to treat you." Doesnt mean its right! It doesnt mean its fair! But often there is truth behind it and sometimes the truth is hard to face. So thats something to consider for future growth. Anyways back to the issue at hand. Sit them down without your sister around and say this," mom and dad i love you but i have a problem and you are not hearing me. I feel something is going on with me and its sscarying me. I dont know what it is but I do know its not a joke, its not a cry for attention and its not funny. So you have one of two choices. #1-take me to a doctor so i can get some help. or #2- do nothing. But just so you understand if you choose #2 and i dont get any better on my own, you will be putting my life at risk. From this point on if anything happens to me, you are responsible and you will have to live with knowledge that you could of done something to of prevented it. You are my parents, you dont have to believe me but you do have to protect me. Please help me."
That is what I think you should say. You need to say it respectfully, calmly but with a serious tone. It needs to come from the heart. Be firm but sincere. Hopefully that will work. If it doesnt, seek outside help. Talk to a couselor, a friend or relative. Join a support group, there are many out there. Find someone you connect with and let them be your "sounding board." These things can help. Ultimately its going to be up to you how your future plays out. Are you going to let others decide for you what your value is or are you going to take back your life and show the world just how valuable you really are by living each day to its very fullest. You are priceless and its your time to shine. Best wishes!
