It isn't the answer no matter how bad things may seem...
You can survive suicidal feelings if you do either of two things: Find a way to reduce your pain, or find a way to increase your coping resources.
Both are possible.
Give yourself some distance.
Say to yourself, "I will wait 24 hours before I do anything." Or a week. Remember that feelings and actions are two different things - just because you feel like killing yourself, doesn't mean that you have to actually do it right this minute.
Put some distance between your suicidal feelings and suicidal action. Even if it's just 24 hours. You have already done it for a few minutes, just by reading this.
You can do it for another few minutes by continuing to read this.
Keep going, and realize that while you still feel suicidal, you are not, at this moment, acting on it. That is very encouraging.
People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a feeling. And you have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek, if you are dead.
There are people out there who can be with you in this horrible time, and will not judge you, or argue with you, or send you to a hospital, or try to talk you out of how badly you feel.
They will simply care for you. Find one of them. Now. Use your 24 hours, or your week, and tell someone what's going on with you. It is okay to ask for help.
