Suicidal: I often think about death and wanting to die. I think about the methods I could kill myself. But I don't actually have a plan to die. Am I suicidal? ANS: Call your local suicide hot line or 911 now.

Suicidal ideation: These are suicidal thoughts / ideations whether you have it actually planned out or not. The fact that you want to die is significant. I really recommend that you get involved with psychotherapy. If you are currently having thoughts about killing yourself, please be seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have a friend or relative drive you. If need be, you can call 911 for emergency services
