Crinn,
I did what you are thinking of - for many of the same reasons. Up to that point I had been so good at hiding what was really going on with me that no one knew except my wife. That was part of my problem. Putting on an act all the time, and fooling everyone except me. Hospital was great. I just said 'Here I am. Depressed and suicidal.' I stayed 2 weeks and then went through a group therapy program. I told my friends and some visited. I certainly did not emerge cured, but the suicidal thoughts were pushed way to the back and I had a whole new support group to call on.
