See below: National suicide prevention lifeline 1-800-273-talk (8255). Your age is 31 and the age in the question is 17. Depending on the state, the laws for inpatient psych admission might differ for a 17Y.O. Find an adult that you trust and confide. Talk to you parents/guardians. You might want to go to the emergency room and they will do a psych eval and discuss your options with you and the guardian.
