    Hi Louise

    We have lots of stuff about depression and feeling suicidal here:

    The best place to start is usually by making an appointment with your GP.

    Did it not cross your mind that this kind of comment might come across as patronising or ignorant? A bit more tact is needed here.

    St John's Wort can be very helpful to some people in cases of mild depression, although it doesn't work for everyone. BUT it is probably not suitable for someone who is severely depressed and suicidal.

    Herbal remedies should not take the place of a proper consultation with a doctor.

    Find an activity you enjoy and try to do it 2 or 3 times a week if you can.

    oh, and i read this tip, which helps me a lot (I'm a bit of a compulsive eater):

    when you feel hungry, try to rate your hunger on a scale of one to 10. If it's 6 or less, have a glass of water instead.
