Be careful of what friends tell you about medication or counseling. I've seen someone not get the operation or the right medication for alzheimer because someone said it weakened inhibitions. I've seen people stop taking his medication for psychiatric problems because friend told them they would be better to work it out by themselves, in one case with the result of the person having to remain in hospital for what may be the rest of his life.

Again, ou need a professional to know if it appropriate or not. Everyone fights with their attention spans, changing interests, lazy days and so many flaws we have. The question is really to know if there is a problem or if you just need to learn to know yourself a bit more.

In all cases, suicide has permanent implications to get out of a temporary condition. Even if it looks so bad, stick around, it will get better, or you'll learn how to cope with it better.
