I Think I'm Depressed

I think I'm depressed.  Granted I don't know for sure, but lately (as in the past year or so)  I've thought about suicide and I feel sad and empty most of the time.  I don't want to commit suicide.  Every time I get close I chicken out which I'm grateful for, but I don't want to be really angry and then overdose or shoot myself or hang myself in a fit of rage.  I'd tell my parents, but word would get out and people would call me Emo and bully me worse.  People would talk.  Teachers would talk.  That might make me suicidal.  So I did some research and found this article.  I'm gonna try to do everything it says and cure myself.  Well everything except the prayer thing, but I will meditate.  So here goes everything and hoping for the best.
