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).

What are some examples of suicidal dialog?

If you have any questions about someone feeling suicidal, call the Suicide Hot-line! You can ask them for examples and suggestions about how you can handle it. If you're concerned they may be serious, call 911.People who are feeling suicidal do not become more suicidal if you ask questions or talk openly about it. It actually helps them feel better that someone cares to ask. It is better if they get angry rather than feeling hopeless. People who are thinking of suicide are depressed, feeling hopeless &/or being abused and don't see there's anything they can do about it. It is better to tell someone who can help even if you agreed that you wouldn't tell anyone. If they feel betrayed, they'll live to appreciate your concern. If they're under 18, call the hot-line asap to see who you should contact about it.Whether they are threatening to kill themselves for purposes of manipulation, take it VERY seriously and call 911 regardless of how upset they might get with you. Whether or not they were serious, it's the best way to keep them from trying to manipulate you or someone else again. You are NOT responsible for how they act out their feelings!

Taking action about suicidal tendency?

Feeling suicidal? Do three things: Get help, Get help, Get help. Know someone who's feeling suicidal? See "Feeling sucidal?", above. Let's tighten up the question some - what kind of action, coercive or cooperative? Voluntary or involuntary? Should police be able to determine who is suicidal and needs to be locked up for 72 hours to 14 days? Would you be comfortable sending police to deal with a relative you thought might be in trouble? This is current standard practice. Police departments do not require college degrees for entrance into their training programs. Do you think police should be involved in suicide prevention?
