Yes. Threatening personal injury is a punishable criminal offense, however the punishment is usually state governed psychiatric help.
Another View: Threatening to kill oneself is NOT a criminal offense.
However - as partially stated above - it could draw the unwanted attention of your family - your friends - your employer - or the authorities. If you are believed to be a danger to yourself or others, you can either voluntarily surrender yourself for mental evaluation - or involuntarily be taken into custody for evaluation at a mental health facility of up to 72 hours. It is NOT considered an arrest in the true legal sense of the word, it is an emergency commitment for mental health evaluation.
