Unfortunately, growing up is a part of life. And being sad for a long period of time, can be depression---particularly when you have thoughts of ending your life.
I think we all have had feelings like this before as we were growing up and not wanting the responsibilities of adulthood.
Funny think is, when we are little we can't wait to grow up and be able to do whatever we want with no one to tell us we can't. As we hit our teens, we realize that isn't exactly true. There are rules for practically every thing we do ...from driving to working at a job. And if we don't follow those rules, like when we were little...we get in trouble.
Being an adult isn't easy. But it is a part of life. And if you were to end your life, not only would you not be older or younger anymore, you would just be dead. And leaving behind many people who would mourn the loss of your life and your possibiliies.

Go to therapy and talk to them and talk out your issues about not wanting to grow up, it really helps to talk yo someone!!

There is a condition were you don't want to grow up, your scared of getting old and take drastic measures to prevent ageing. I think you need to speak to your doctor again and tell them the specifics. It is a form of depression and anxiety so the medication he prescribed( if he prescribed any) may help but it would be best if you told them as much information as possible in order to diagnose the problem correctly. good luck.

I've had depression-many times-

Your brain is not working right, you are thinking sad overwhelming thoughts, but that is because your brain doesn't have the chemicals to get out of that rut. Take your medications, see a physician ASAP, and let someone you love know what you are going through. Check in with them.

You don't have to feel perfect every day, but you have to recognize that what you are going through is part of an illness, and like any physical illness it will make you miserable, and it will pass. Unfortunately it's your brain that is ill, so you can't trust yourself to make good decisions. Get that friend to help you, bounce things off them, and try not to make drastic changes until you feel better.
