 Look into a mirror and smile. Look at your reflection smiling back at you.  

Sometimes you may feel like there is no point to living anymore. I know all about that. It's very important to understand that you are worth everything and there is definitely lots to live for. 

I'm sure that your parents do care, because its a parents instinct to love and protect their children. I care about you so I'm sure that your parents do too.

It's very easy to just think 'why couldn't i just be someone else', and i've thought this many times, but inevitably it is important to know that you are special for the person who you are and no-one else is the same as you. You have a special purpose in this world!  One day you will stop being depressed and suicidal and you will understand why you fought so hard to live. 

CAMHS will definitely be able to help you. They are great. 

The doctor will not think that you're mad. S/he has probably spoken to many people who have similar problems to you and s/he will understand you're problems and try to help you best s/he can. 

Good luck with it all and remember to smile! :)
