I'm sorry to read your post, and can understand your desperation. I am glad you weren't successful and hope you are able to talk to someone 'real' who you trust and can help keep you safe.

Depending what country you are in depends on how you get the help you obviously need and desire.

I am in the UK and here the mental health act deems that if you are a risk to yourself or anyone else then they have to intervene and this can lead to 'sectioning' in which you can sign yourself or be signed into a psychiatric team.

Do you have a mental health worker, or counsellor? or are you able to contact your Dr? I am truly concerned for you and really hope you can find some help. Don't be alone right now and please do talk to someone.
Keep yourself as safe as you can. x

Yes there is always a way out of things. I am sorry you are so down that you would try to commit suicide.Sometimes meds will cause this or a chemical imbalance in the brain, or a bad situation. But there is always a way out even when you don't see it. I would go to the ER and tell them what you did and that you want to be committed and they should take you in. Also, you could call a psychiatrist or physchologist and they should get you on anti depressants and help you get into a psych ward. Whatever is happening you can usually get out of even when you don't think so.  Nothing is worth killing yourself over. You can get through this. There are many people who will want to help you through this.We are all here to help as well. Let me know if this helps.

never think of ending your life.. Life is so beautiful.. the breeze , the people around you your family , friends ..etc you have lots of things to do rather than trying to kill yourself..
If you go into a hospital you will find people who are trying to live as many days they can .. they are fighting so hard just to live.. and you want to quit your life that sounds so bad..! you were not born to kill yourself..!
Stay healthy stay safe and enjoy every moment you have..!
