You should find someone who you can talk to. You shouldnt be going through it alone. But i know how hard it is to open up to someone. Thats why i love 7cups. You can talk to people who know nothing about you so you cant emberass yourself and if you do who cares. Its not like you will be seeing anyone in person. And you can always find a new listener. Find yourself help. Talk to someone here. Its safe and you will find so many people who understand what you are going through. Let yourself to be helped.

First, I'm really sorry that you're feeling this way. It must be really difficult for you. To answer your question, I think it depends on why you don't want to tell anyone. For example, if you're afraid that they will judge you, perhaps you might wanna look for someone who won't judge - e.g. therapist, friends who are non-judgmental, crisis line. If you're concerned about people around you finding out, then there are also others ways - e.g. anonymously talk to the crisis line. Reaching out is a really difficult step and I just want to say that seeking help here is already a good step forward. :)

Always reach out for help as soon as possible if you experience thoughts of suicide. Programs like your local crisis services agency or the national suicide hotline can talk to you in person or over the phone to help you stay safe. It is so important to get help early, before the situation gets worse. Minimize risks as much as possible by telling a friend or family member, staying in places that do not have access to weapons, and by contacting a trained counselor or your primary doctor. You aren't alone in this fight. Keep reaching out and asking for help.

You could write in a journal. Or you can talk to me about this. I am here for you every single step of the way and you don't have to tell me anything you don't want to. When making hard decisions just remember I am always here and you can always talk to me. I will not judge or discriminate and never think that you are annoying or repulsive towards me. I love my job and I love helping people. I am here for everyone and I will be there for all of you as much as possible. -Burrito

Many women automatically believe that an ex ignoring them means it is because of something bad when that isn’t always the case. It may be surprising to you but your ex may be ignoring you because he actually still cares for you and has feelings for you.
Breaking up with someone is a highly emotional roller coaster full of confusing emotions as you know yourself as you’re going through it yourself. Everyone reacts to breakups differently though and him ignoring you may be a way for him to heal from the breakup.
While you may be ready to start talking again, he might not. He made need more time to get over it and heal before he can be ready to talk. In this instance it is important to not make this about you. It is clear that he still has hurt feelings and ignoring you is a way for him to keep his head clear to be able to think clearly.

If you are feeling suicidal it is very important to pin-point what is triggering these thoughts. If you know that it is serious, be sure to reach out to a suicide hotline. It is anonymous and no one in your life has to find out, however having a support system is crucial and I would highly recommend finding just one person you can trust and sharing your feelings with them. In times like this, it always feels worse to be alone and feel like you are misunderstood, therefore having someone you can trust who genuinely cares about your feelings, will help you overcome this battle.

If you’re not comfortable telling someone near you then perhaps contacting a suicide hotline would be best. If you find a specific thing is the reason for why you’re feeling this way then perhaps see if there’s a way you can help with that. Or contact a hotline that’s specific to the reason you’re feeling suicidal. Talking to somebody, no matter whom, is the best path because they can help you through it. Did something trigger you to feel this way? Is there perhaps something you can do or have done before that’s helped? A suicide hotline may be best or if you think you’re in imminent danger of harming yourself then call your national emergency line. If you’re unsure of your suicide hotline number then go to suicide.org. There’s always people there so try to reach out

Take your time, don't rush. Think, why do I feel this way? Why wouldn't I'd like to speak to anyone? Do I feel like I'm a moment away from doing it or am I just entertaining the thought?
If you are entertaining the thought then maybe speaking to a close friend can help or letting your emotions out in someway (everyone has a diffrent way). Feeling suicidal isn't forever and it's hardly a rational time (even if it feels rational at the time doesn't mean it is).
One doesn't need to tell everything in one go, sometimes just telling a few hints can help (or not). But taking your time to think through your emotions and thoughts is probably the best option.

Tell someone. If you're actively suicidal it needs to be an actual person around you who can help, if it's just passive it may suffice simply to write in a journal or talk to someone online.
As much as it's difficult to tell someone, holding it all in can absolutely destroy a person. With active suicidality where you genuinely are wanting to commit, and have a plan or have reached a point where you are capable of going through with it in the moment, someone needs to be aware so they can help you and intervene if necessary.
Even just with passive suicidal thoughts simply allowing it to eat away at you until they may evolve into active suicidal thoughts, or even if they just remain passive but persist, it's important not to allow yourself to be dragged down by it

Talking about it is a great first step. I had this problem. Music got me through it. I used this site to tell someone. Even though they couldn't know me, it felt nice to let it out. It can be difficult to tell people, but it is definitely a good first step. Remember to take care of yourself. Doing research on ways to boost serotonin. The internet can help you. Telling people online can make you heard. This can make you feel much better. I beleive telling people is one of the best ways to improve. I hope you feel better friend
