How do people react when you tell them that you are suicidal and who should you talk to?

How one reacts to the news you're suicidal varies from person to person, usually depending on how much they've been exposed to the idea of someone being suicidal. If this is new to them -- just like anything else -- expect an emotional response. If they've encountered this conversation before, usually they'll be interested and will often offer to be helpful. Suicide is a shocking topic, and it takes some acclimation before one can discuss it calmly and rationally.
So, I'd say there are two sorts of people you probably need to talk to. One group are the people who would be most effected by your suicidal ideation. This would include parents, loved ones. siblings, kids, etc. For this group, I'd say you have to first asses if this information CAN be conveyed. FOr instance, younger children -- no way -- they don't get it. With adults, think it over, then set aside time for an explanation. Prepare them beforehand -- let them know this isn't an easy conversation coming up. And if you can, involve them in the solution and the process. Be aware that some of the first responses may require you to be patient. And some will be surprisingly pleasant too -- usually.
The other group are therapists. With them you don't need the careful preparation, but you're confronted with a different set of challenges. Just as all cars are not the same, neither are all mental health personnel. Talk to a few of them if you have the time. If one of them feels like they won't or can't listen to or hear you, move on to the next. There should be a connection with the therapist you talk to, and it's worth waiting for. If there isn't, your therapy may be less effective.
If you're feeling suicidal, then you've taken the first step in addressing the situation by mentioning it here. Good start! I commend you, because I know this takes courage.
