Yes / No

thismadinalakefan	Asking for help online is a really good start, even though it is anonymous it took alot of courage. You need to tell someone, anyone you know. Yes people might freak out becuae they love and care for you very much and it is something that no one generally wants to talk about. There are alot of misconceptions about suicide. Talking about it is the best way to get help. If you are desperate, call 911, all communities are covered by a MHMR center, local mental health authority and they have a crisis hotline. The on call worker would go and see you in the hospital or jail and do a crisis assessment. If found to be an iminent risk to yourself or others hospitalization is the best choice. Most hospitals are NOT what people think, they are there to help people recover. Also you could go to your local MHMR center and be screened for services to possibly start with medications and/or counseling. You CAN get better. Please take my advice. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

zond7	get out some aggression doing something. If you are thinking about suicide you obviously have a lot of time on your hands. If you keep it moving you won't have time for those thoughts to come into your head. Maybe you need to seek some professional help. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Billy Dee	You should find a trusted friend or teacher or family member and tell them how you are feeling. It may seem hopeless sweetheart, but it's just a temporary feeling, it will go away with help trust me. You may need counseling or maybe anti-depression drugs, but you will feel better.

Lone Ranger	well, u told me, and i haven't freaked out. surely u maust have an agony aunt or uncle. someone u can talk to. someone who'll listen to u and guide u. if not, see a counseller, that's the best way. they're professionals, and, contrary to popular belief, they're not to keen on putting u in a padded cell. i should know, i used to see a psychiatrist some years back. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Alyssa	No you won't get in the hospital if you tell someone. I know exactly what you're going through and I took the jump (not literally) and ended up in the hospital. You need to see someone who can evaluate your mental health and possibly prescribe some medicine. You might also have to go to psychotherapy like I do. No, its not therapy for psychos :P I go to it and me and my therapist talk about what's been going on in my life and how my medicine is working. I really wish you good luck from the bottom of my heart. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Pete	Why don't you tell someone that you are depressed or something; don't come right out and tell them you're suicidal. Then you can go to a psychiatrist and talk about it confidentially with him or her. Is there a reason you're suicidal or is it just that you're not thinking straight? Maybe watch some stand-up comedy or a movie (have you seen Garden State?); that makes me feel better. Exercise helps too. By the way- if you look anything like you're avatar, you shouldn't be self conscious at all. Believe me- suicide has never helped anyone. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

duchess727272	call 1-800-suicide!!!..they are there to listen and help you thru this...if your worried about your call being traced you can press *67 before dialing the number....these feelings can be very frightening!!...not all people who are suicidal go to the hospital but if your not feeling better after talking with someone, have a plan or access to terminating materials (ie gun, pills and liquer) get out and get to a hospital!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

unknown	Please don't harm you're self try taking help and sharing you're emotions to some close friend .You can consult a psychiatrist there is No harm in taking help from one. We get one life and we should live it to fullest. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

deshane2530	No, you do not have to be put in a hospital. It depends on your degree of insanity or of hurting yourself--like do you have a written plan or weapon, locked yourself in a room, wrote a will along with note, know what is going on, etc. It depends on your age/parent discretion also. If you have a counselor and tell them this then they can ask you if you what you want to do and if you don't want to go, then you can make a safety contract with them and/or they could decide what is the best thing for you to do. If you want to go to a hospital, then go. You can admit yourself if you think you are in a real emergency. Otherwise, tell a trusted friend and see a counselor to get help and a doctor referral (psychiatrist) to get medication. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

mono	getting help is very easy...if you are suicidal and clearly you admit it and want help then you should go into the hospital....theyll get you on some good medication that works for you and youll get counceling (i always thought counceling was a farce until i decided it was time to just stick it out and listen) it worked for me...i suggest you give it a chance Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

je$$y	just tell them that i need to tell u something and axplain how bad it then when you tell them they will understand Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

♥Krystena_420♥	Getting good quality help is very difficult. I tried for years to get help for my father. He finally committed suicide last July. Depending on your age, ( I really wish I knew how old you were) they will put you in a hospital. The law completely changes after your 18th birthday. You truly have no say so in what happens to you if your under the age of 18 and your suicidal. So if you tell someone it is a possibility you could go to a mental hospital. If your over 18 the choice is yours to make in the care you recieve. Thats why my daddy is dead, he had to make the choice himself because he was an adult. He chose to not get help. The next result was death. My mother chose to not get help. She committed suicide when I was 17. Ihave delt with suicide too much. It's heartless and selfish. And it truly is a cop out so you don't have to deal with life's pressures. I know what Iam talking about both my parents are dead and both died by their own hands. Get help baby, go to a counselor someone you trust very deeply. As far as freaking out goes, thats why you need to tell the right person. The right person will know how to handle it. Do you have an adult in your life you can talk to? Its very important you don't bury your hurt. Even people that "try" suicide and don't succeed have over a 75% chance of one day being successful......Its also very hard on a family after a suicide. Especially if that person has no insurance. Do your parents have the money to bury you if you were to go through with it? Would it put them in the poorhouse? If it would do you care? My family has spent well over $15,000 on funeral expenses in the last 12 years. We are not rich and I guarantee you thats not just "pocket money".Remember the only thing ever guaranteed is change. no matter how bad things are change is inevitable. Nothing stays the same forever. Especially if your young. I tried to commit suicide when I was 15. iended up in a mental institution. Ive seen CRAZY and i mean CRAZY people, You need to go sit it out in one for a bit. Makes you VERY grateful to be on the outside. In there you cant even go to the bathroom by yourself. Iam ok now iam 28 iam older and iam much the wiser. DON"T BE FOOLISH.....start going to church and find God. I did and He is my salvation only God can help you and give you the peace you seek. krystena_420_24_7 is my messenger ID. Come talk to me sometime. I could truly help you I know it....PS...The response from the MHMR lady above me?? NO GOOD if you go in there and your under 18 they will cart your *** off somewhere. Thats how I ended up in the institution I was in. My mother and father took me to MHMR when I was 14 found out I was suicidal and i was gone in just a couple hours. BE CAREFUL...IF YOU ARE DEPRESSED....depression is something that can completely consume you and take you away. God I miss my parents don't make your family hurt like I do. I will carry this burden forever, And this burden is VERY VERY heavy. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Barbie Girl	Can you speak to a friend or family membe that youre closest too? Failing that, depending on where in the world you are, the Samaritans here in the UK are GREAT listeners. If you find talking it over with these people helps, then I think going to your doc is the next thing to do. Good luck Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Da Ben Dan	No you won't be put into a hospital if you don't want...See your doctor RIGHT NOW. They have some pretty amazing drugs and things that they can do for you. TRust me, I've been there. Your doctor won't freak--they're trained to deal with this..and I'm sure you won't be the only upset patient he/she's dealt with. The important thing is to get help NOW.

ShibbyTricks	No, you'll be put in a hospital if you try anything. Telling someone about it is just going to get people involved with your life to figure out what's wrong.

Goodie66	Suicidal Ideations are just that, an idea to cause your self harm and or ultimately take you own life. This stems from a severe depression. Depression can be managed with proper therapy and medications. If you were thinking of seriously hurting your self I want to first advise you to pat yourself on the back for taking the first step to deter these ideations, you reached out and that took some self control. Perhaps if you allow yourself to get he necessary help that a doctor can provide you with the fear of being in the hospital will be less intense. You have to know that you fear stems from your depression. Depression is a disease and it want to consume you so it creates any deterrent to prevent you from getting back control of your life. Fight back Darling don't let this illness take away your life, please..If no one told you today, even though I've never met you and may never meet your or hug you, know that I DO LOVE YOU...and I will pray for you...God Bless You Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

judithsr	Well, I think by reaching out for help here, you're off to a good start with helping yourself. As far as who to tell, you want to be cautious. Hearing that someone is suicidal can be extremely scary...especially if you're telling someone who cares about you. It won't be very helpful if they react negatively...so you want to make sure you can talk to someone you cna trust. A good place to start would be a suicide hotline. The volunteers there are trained to speak with people who are suicidal to various degrees, and are generally there to listen to your thoughts and feelings without judgement. In addition, they may be able to provide you with resources that can help you. Oh, and calling a suicide hotline will not automatically get you admitted to a hospital. That is not the most helpful for most people who are suicidal, and volunteers should work with you to reach a safe point, rather than going directly towards admitting you into a hosptial. The national referral hotline is 1-800-SUICIDE. They will be able to refer you to the local suicide hotline in your area. All suicide hotlines should be 24/7, and the volunteers are there to listen to you any time day or night. So, please don't hesistate to call if you feel like you need a listening ear. And please know that being in so much pain that you feel ending your life is the only way out, is a really scary place to be. And by taking the first steps to try and help yourself is extremeley hard to do, and you are very brave for doing it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

lilchick	sounds to me like you have already taken the first step. you have admitted to yourself that you have these types of thoughts. you are already on the right track. now, just call the someone you know will take you serious. remember be honest and do not let them change your mind. lots of social workers, case workers, whatever the case in an effort to keep ones out of treatment or state hospitals will attempt to convince ones that it was a weak moment and that everything will look different in the light of day. dont let them do it. get help now it is available.
