This question was originally asked several years ago, and we do hope the person who asked it got the help he or she needed. Suicidal feelings are often caused by depression (a treatable illness) or by feeling overwhelmed and alone as a result of many negative events. But for anyone re-reading this question now, you need to know that while you may feel that nobody cares, that is not true. You are not alone: in fact, there are many people who are both willing and able to help you to get through this difficult time.
A few options are our contributors have suggested:
1. Talk to your close family and friends-- sometimes telling them how you are feeling can help take away some of the burden. (But that may not be enough, because they are not professionals and they may not know how to help you. Still, talking about it is a good start.)
2. There are suicide prevention hotlines like the Samaritans: 1 (800) 273-TALK.
3. any crisis center or the emergency room of a hospital will have trained personnel to help.
4. if you are in school, a school counselor is a good resource. Most universities have counseling centers-- all of the treatment is confidential.
5. if you are religious, a priest, or minister, or rabbi or imam can give you some guidance, and even if you are not, most clergy will help you and not turn you away.
6. if you can, contact a trained psychologist and make arrangements to start seeing him or her, so that you can discuss when these feelings began, what sorts of events triggered them, etc. A good psychologist or psychiatrist can be very helpful in working with you to develop coping strategies.
Good luck and we hope you will seek out the support you need (and deserve).
