What should I do if I am feeling suicidal, but don't want to tell anyone?

If you start to feel suicidal, then instead of harming yourself, you can draw on yourself in markers, or you can hold an ice cube in your hand, and wait for it to melt (which really calms you down) or you could think about why you're feeling this way, and what has caused it, and maybe then you'll be more willing to talk about it, or you will be able to fix it on your own :)

There is no shame in telling someone whom you trust about your feelings. It is very important for your safety and health to tell someone that will not be judgemental and will only have your best interest at heart :)

You may just try to speak to someone here, on 7cups. You don't need to tell anyone your personal information here, just try to express your emotions and worries. Talking to someone usually helps even more, than you think

Write it down. Paint. Do anything to express these feelings - to let them out. Because if you keep it bottled in then you'll find yourself feeling incredibly alone and tired.

Feeling suicidal but afraid to talk about it is a position which many people who experience suicidal thoughts fall into, so first know that this reaction is not uncommon and there are many reasons for the fear, a common one is being concerned that revealing your thoughts might mean you will be hospitalised against your will, but in many countries this rarely happens as a first step and is more common when you have an intent to act or have additional risk factors (such as severe self harm), if you don't want to tell anyone you might consider looking up strategies to deal with suicidal thoughts online (some people have found a site called getselfhelp.com) helpful or looking at the managing emotions guide here on 7cups. It might also be worth discussing the reasons you feel suicidal with someone even if you don't want to reveal the most distressing thoughts, as human connection and empathy can often help. It is of course always recommended you speak to a professional but I understand that is not an option for everyone, and know that no matter how terrifying these thoughts are you are not alone and until the world speaks of such experiences openly without fear of stigma it is hard to gauge just how common they are and learn how to support each other through such experiences.

I would draw my feelings down and write poems, and also think about everything i have in life even when i feel like there's nothing left i can live for.

That's a really tough question to answer. Your best bet would be to tell someone. Ask for the help that you need so you can work towards not feeling that way anymore. But suicidal feelings are definitely not something you should keep a secret.

First you should know that you are not alone, lots of people feel this way every day and manage to come out the other side feeling happy again it may just take time. What you're feeling is real and it will pass, you are stronger than your feelings. I would advise first to write down exactly how you are feeling as this can help to understand your thoughts and emotions yourself and be really helpful to let it out. Distract yourself from your feelings by doing something that you love. If the feeling won't go away you should really talk to someone, it doesn't have to be someone that you know there are lots of help lines for suicide prevention.

I would suggest going to a doctor or a therapist to get the best answers for you. Never keep that to yourself. It's important your important and need to get the best care you deserve.

Focus on other things like music, art in general, and stuff. I used to focus on school and I used to study a lot. This helped me much.
