Crisis intervention: If you are having thoughts of killing yourself, that is defined as suicidal. Please immiediately call 911, go to the nearest emergency room or call 1-800-suicide (784-2433).

Getting help: I agree w dr. Front. Do you mean that you have a desire to take your life but that you are not at the point of carrying it out right now? I agree with emergency intervention. Please have a friend or relative drive you to the nearest emergency room if you have a significant urge to kill yourself. You can call emergency services at 911 if you need assistance with transportation. Take care.
