Get help: If you feel you are at risk to yourself and others with the bad thoughts, then go to a safe facility immediately for evaluation (hospital, mental facility intake, ed). If you are having chronic issues, then consult with your primary care doc. They may be able to start therapy or arrange for an earlier visit for psych, or refer you for more help from a facility.
