Get yourself to the nearest ER. Tell them you are suicidal. Don't worry about what else to say. They will know what questions to ask. Call a friend or family member and ask for them to drive you to the ER. Or, ,just call 911. The important thing is to be safe.

Go to the hospital emergency room and tell them you are suicidal and can't cope. They will have a psychiatrist or psychiatric intern on staff that will see you. You may be put in a waiting area for a time until they get to see you. They will ask you some questions about your mental state and will ask you to sign an admission form and put you on the psychiatric unit of the hospital. It's up to you if you sign it or not, either way if it is an emergency they will keep you. A medication will be prescribed to you and in the next day you will be seen by a pyschiatrist that will further talk to you and ask questions, and who will explain what medications you are to take. Depending on how severe they determine your condition is, they will keep you for continued observation. It could be a few days, it could be a few weeks. I would suggest if you do go, to pack a bag with some toiletries. You may not be able to wear your normal clothes for the first few days, but pack some for when they let you wear normal clothes again.

Please go to your nearest ER at your nearest hospital, they have doctors to help you.Tell the nurse how you feel when you get there and they will have a psychiatrist talk to you, tell them you need an anti depressant or tranquilizer and they probably will admitt you if you feel you want to stay a few days.
NEVER give up! God loves you! People care!
Remember "When we hit bottom of the barrel,there is only one way and that is up!"

Forget the therapist, if you are serious go to the ER and tell the nice people I wanna f'in kill myself. They should ask you if you have a plan and all that. If they judge you to be serious and a threat to yourself they will admit you somewhere for observation.

Go to the Emergency Room, and tell the Nurse that You are "going to hurt yourself." That should get you in.
