I have experienced this feeling or something very close. I also have never been suicidal; just feeling absolutely hopeless and despondent. It feels so real, but it is actually your depression talking. I keep giving out the quote that someone put on one of the boards here that I liked: Don't believe everything you think. And right now, this is true for you. Your friends do care, your parents care. I'd bet that if you told your friends how you are feeling they would be shoulder for you to cry on or lean on or whatever you need. You would try to be there for them, right? They cannot be there for you if they don't know you need them. Maybe, even, some of them feel the same as you do and think that you do not care about them unless they are "happy". I have found, far more often then not, that my friends have emotional struggles of their own that they do not often share unless invited to.
Hang in there. Within the scope of this lifetime, hope abounds.
