Help Me

Please help me, I have no idea what to do!!

I've been depressed for a couple of months now & this last couple of weeks have just been hell. I can't stop crying, Ireally just feel like ending it all.... All my flatmates have gone out, as has my boyfriend, I'm in alone & I'm panicking so much I can barely breathe. I jsut feel like my whole world has caved in on me- I don't know what else to do. I feel really alone like all my friends have abandoned me & I'm finding it so hard to even go into uni, I've only been to one tutorial this semester because I'm too frightened to go in. I'm shaking & I don't know what to do.....

I'm sorry for this post, I just need advice asap

Please, talk to your GP. He / she can prescribe you anti-depressants or recommend you to a specialist.
And don't worry - your friends haven't abandoned you. Get in contact with them, and talk to one of them about it. Arrange meets with them, even if it is just shopping or watching a DVD. They are still your friends, even if you haven't seen them in a while. Remember, you have a lot to live for. You have a boyfriend - talk to him about your situation, and he will reassure you. If you're worrying about uni, find someone you can talk to, such as a member of staff. Sorry I can't give anymore detail - I'm still at school.

And please, don't apologise for the post. We're here to help.
Sounds like it might be a panic attack. Don't try and fight it, just let it pass even though it's scary. Is there any support network at your uni? A nightline or counsellor? You need to gain confidence with yourself again before you can exercise it with your friends/going to lessons.. write a list of what you want in a year, a month, a weeks and a days time.. it calms you down and put things into perspective - well does for me.. write lists, lists are good; even if they are just random words
