Thank you for your responses. Having people thinking of me was really helpful. I'm doing a little better now. I did go see one of my friends. I didn't tell her I was suicidal, but we talked about what was bothering me. I talked to another friend online and that helped, too.
I do belong to a support group (actually two of them). I think that I am realizing that I have people around who can help, but I'm not able to let them know that I need help. Either I don't want to bother them, or I'm afraid that I'll upset them, or I'm afraid that I'll upset _me_ by talking about it out loud. Being able to call for help online seemed easier, and was a good way to put my toe in the water.
Thanks!
