you said your emo right? look for other emo people, and talk to them about it.
or as d master said, you could thingy that thingy in a thingy, if you know what I mean
BTW, how old are you, and how old is your girfriend?
Actually according to group polarization, talking with people who have the same opinions as you only intensify the feelings, which would not be a good thing.

You have a computer and internet. Your're not risking your life eveyday. Why are you depressed? You have a great life. Many poor, unlucky souls woul do anything to have even a fraction of your life. Be glad that you have a good life and snap out of it.
Being depressed can have more causes (like physiological ones) that can't be fixed with the flip of a switch. If depression could be fixed by just snapping out of it, then it wouldn't be a real disorder. It takes more to get out of depression than simply snapping out of it.

Cutting yourself actually release endorphins, which are your body's natural opiates. They make you feel better, so it's an unfortunate, but understandable reaction from someone who has depression. I'm not saying it's a good thing to do at all, just wanted to mention that that is why some depressed people cut themselves.

To #1weavile:
I suggest you tell your parents about how you feel and I suggest possibly seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist if things are really bad. At the very least don't listen to the things that most of the people have said in your topic because most of them don't understand the causes of depression and how to deal with it.
