Hello , im sorry to hear about your feeling depressed . The only way of propley dignosing some one with depression is if you see a mental health psycolgistic.

The symptons of depression are:

feeling sad more than 2 weeks

less sleep / too much sleep

loss of appiate

lost intrest in activites you enjoyed

thoughts of hurting your self 

you can also look up the symptons of depression on google if this helps.

If you freind is telling you that she is feeling sucidal its really important that you tell an ADULT i no she may not want you to but your making sure she is safe and its the best thing to do . She  will need help with this as she may be suffering from depression or another illness or it could be probelm at home or else where etc . You are a great freind and your been very brave but you and your freind needs to talk to an adult because they need to provide you and your freind with the right help and support .

Why dont you want your parents knowing ? Im sure your parents would rather know how your feeling then you keeping it to your self they are there to help and support you with any thing or if you have any problems .

Here if u want to talk some more about this !

I'm not sure. It could be the illness depression, but more likely you're upset due to what's going on. You haven't actually mentioned why your home life is "rubbish," would you like to say why?

Now, your friends. Have you talked to your first friend who is suicidal? Do you know what's wrong? Let her know you're there for her, and tell her how much she means to you. As a friend, you love her. All her good points, how she's thoughtful, how's she's always helping you, maybe. Tell her she means so much to you. Then, it's probably best you tell an adult so she's safe. She probably won't want that, but if she decided to hurt herself, I guess it's for the better. And your second friend, you need to do the same, and tell her about anorexia. Tell her- look, you're not fat, you're four and a half stone, and then name your weight- and does she think you're fat? She'll probably say no. But she weighs less- a lot less. Athough, that won't cure her, and people can die of anorexia...so it's best to tell an adult, too. If you don't want them to know it's you, write an anonymous letter and post it through their door.

It must be difficult to tell your parents how you feel. How about you tell them you're going out and go to another doctor? You can take your friends to support you. You could also have a private word to the doctor about your friends. You could tell them that you all needed help, and going together would help all of you through it
