I Battle Depression and Anxiety

Even Part Hospitalization Didn't Work...... A few weeks ago, my depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation got to be too much. I had tried cutting twice, though didn't feel much from it. One night it all became too much and I told my mom everything I was feeling and she immediately got in touch with my psychiatrist and he recommended I do part hospitalization treatment.
After I got accepted, I started on Monday. It was extremely difficult staying there because I hadn't gone to school in weeks due to my anxiety, and I hated being away from home.
After the first week, however, things were looking up. My thoughts weren't as depressing and I really liked the kids in my group. I finally found people I could relate to and didn't feel so different, alone.
Yesterday, Monday, was fine. It was the first day I didn't want to leave at all.
But today, I had an anxiety attack and left, thus being discharged from the program. The worst part is I don't know if I couldn't stay, but more like I didn't want to stay.
Now all the thoughts are back and I just want to give up; to die. I realize this is my fault and I feel horrible.
I don't want my family to have to deal with the pain of my suicide, but I don't want to continue living like this. I'm so stuck; sometimes I wish i was never born.

You should involve yourself in things that make you happy, keep yourself from having too much time to think about being depressed. Go out and do stuff with other people or by yourself and keep anything that will harm you as far away as possible. Sure, you don't want your loved ones to hurt but what matters is YOUR happiness. Think about the negative impact it will have on YOU if you take your own life: what are goals that you have that will never be accomplished if you kill yourself?
