In the meantime, take care of yourself. Consider ridding your house of anything you could use in an impulsive attempt. Maybe even have your husband dole out your meds to you and hide the bottles somewhere only he knows.

We're all glad that most of you does not want to die.

Another thing to consider, as these thoughts seem intrusive: do you have any other obsessive thoughts? Do you have any rituals that you feel you must perform, such as tapping an object a specific number of times, or touching something, or doing some action? People always think of germaphobic obsessions and cleaning/straightening compulsions when they think of OCD, but the disorder can manifest itself in a variety of different ways. Maybe it's an issue for you.
I do have issuses with obsessive thoughts, mostly about harming myself, and thinking my husband doesn't love me. When I was in the hospital in April, the doctor there said that I might have a kind of OCD where there aren't many compulsions, mostly obsessive, intrusive thoughts. As far as I know, I don't have any rituals.
