Dear How Do I Make My Suicidal Thoughts Go Away?,

 

TeenHealthFX thinks that you need to seek help immediately since you are continuing to have suicidal thoughts and are worried that you will actually go through with killing yourself. You need to meet with a mental health professional as soon as possible to ensure your immediate safety, as well as to formulate a long-term treatment plan that will allow you deal with the issues that are contributing to these suicidal thoughts and feelings and that will treat your depression.

 

You can call 911 or go to your nearest hospital emergency room. In northern New Jersey you can also call the crisis hotline from Morristown Memorial hospital at 973-540-0100. Outside this area call the Suicide & Crisis Hotline, 1-800-999-9999, 24 hours, 7 days a week.
