So why are you on your PC?
Investigate the cause, silly.
Be careful the ceiling doesn't come down on you.

Dripping from where? do you live in an apartment or a two story house kinda need more details. It sounds like a broken pipe, find your main water shut off valve and shut off the water, then locate the leak before it causes more damage. Then call around for the plumbers that give free estimates. If you rent you need to call your landlord.

At the void of the roof,normally there is a overhead tank and the level is control by a float,this valve could be faulty .Not shutting off when full and normally there would be a overflow pipe,maybe the outlet is also blocked up and need clearing

Is it from rain(external) or supply water (internal) obviously if it is from within you would want to turn the ware off. make a small hole in the area where it is leaking to let the water have a way of escape. It's easier to fix a small hole than a whole ceiling.

Turn off mains water.
Turn off electricity to lights only. Must keep freezer running.
Run cold water in bath to empty tank.
Turn off central heating if you have radiators.
Call a plumber.
Contact insurance company if there is substancial damage.

Shut off your main water line. A pipe burst or there is a faulty valve.
If there is a apt above you, have them shut off their main water line. Call a plumber but shut off the water first.
