Shy_Girl, that is called hopelessness. It happens when your brain is depressed and is blocking out positive thoughts. It's like a filter is on-- you can only see the negative possibility. When your brain is working better you can see more options, and have more faith that good things will happen (along with bad things).

>Yes I'm sure your hamster needs you very much! Give the meds a chance. And please if you haven't done so, let your doctor know that you're having a lot of thoughts about suicide. It's a symptom and they need to know about it to treat you properly.
