Hi. I want to kill myself. Wrote 6 pages as to why. Good idea to reach out to people on FB?
OK. Hi. My name is Jimmy. I can't stop thinking about death. Through a seriously traumatic event, I have become a terrible and twisted person. My spiel is kinda sorta dark and dramatic. It talks about who I was before the event, talks about what happened during the event, how I have drastically changed into an incredibly ugly person beyond belief, how much I wish I was dead, how twisted I feel, and how I'm in the dilemma of wanting to take the same confidence program that got me into a psychotic episode (I think the way I used it was flawed, not the program itself), but I want to be good and I feel like I'm stabbing morality and God (yes, I believe in God) in the back for doing so. I'm thinking about reaching out to about five people on Facebook as to why, but I'm not so sure I should. I made a list of eight people I could potentially talk to. Most of them I'm kinda not too close to anymore or at all, but some said they'd help me if I ever needed it and others I kinda have respect for. However, part of my spiel includes why I also wanted to commit suicide over what happened with this girl 2 of them are really great friends with (though that's FAR from the main reason why I'm suicidal). I feel my family wouldn't be as helpful in this matter, and it's taking a while to find a counselor. I'm kinda desperate for someone to listen to me and guide me. I thought five people to talk to would be good, but with everything I have to say about myself I feel like it's risky. What do I do?

Its great to want to talk to someone about resolving your issues, and great that you have friends to turn to who are willing to help, but considering the complexity of what you are dealing with, talking to your friends my not be the wise road to go down. Especially since part of your problem is organizing your thoughts and when you are so desperate to threaten suicide puts way to much pressure on the friends you ask for help. Maybe talking to a professional might be better option even if that means waiting.
I know what its like to want to kill yourself. But in my experience that desire is mostly an just the easiest of may options that exist. The fact that you seek resolution through talking to people makes you far less at risk to others who idealize killing themselves, because you haven't lost your common sense or your desire to live. That is not to suggest your problems are less valid, or less desperate, just that you only mention it to gain attention. Its the people who don't mention it are the ones you really have to worry about.
