What to do if you are alone and thinking about suicide.
Sit down and breathe deeply.

Breathe deeply again and again.

Turn on the lights or open a door or window.

Pick up the phone and call a friend, even if you have to call collect.
Talk to the operator
if you don't have strength to dial the number.

Say your name out loud.

Say your friends' names out loud.

Repeat and combine these names with your name.

... try to reach out to people, to living beings... people, animals, plants. someone will reach back.

lie down and hug your bed or your couch or armchair. even the ground (but preferable not cold marble!). feel the surface sustain you, support you.

Cry, even if it means weeping bitterly. Scream; "God, why am I in such despair? Why
did you do this to me? Tell me why."

Pray. Say: "God, help me. Please give me a reason to live."

Touch yourself. Feel the rapid beating of your heart.

Turn on the television, radio, or stereo.

Close your eyes and think about The Wizard of Oz or chocolate ice cream or giraffes.

Get out a photo album and look at the pictures of your family and friends.

If you have a pet, pick it up and hold it tightly.

When you have the strength, get out from where you are. Go to the movies.
Go to the shopping mall. Go to a neighbor's or a friend's house. If you
are afraid to drive, run as fast as you can for as long as you can.

Get yourself to where there are people.

other things:
if you have nervous tension, anger, rage, restlessness, agitation... get the idea... any kind of "dark" energy:

find pillows big little pile em up, spreadem out, or scatter, at your whim. then POUND ON THEM, as hard as you can. keep doing it till you wear yourself out. trust me the pillows will outlast you.

when you are in a bad place, you need to defuse any negative energy quickly, that's one way i know to do it, where you won't feel sorry for broken stuff after.
