Hi gina inthewoods. I hate it when people need help and get turned away. This has happened to me as well. I was turned away from the community mental health clinic because they did not take my insurance. Still, call the crisis hotlines. I also believe it is a good idea to be around other people and not be alone. If necessary, go to the ER. If nothing else they can assist you to find necessary help. What seemed to help me when I felt suicidal was to have commitments to keep. If I knew I had to "hold off" say for 2 more weeks because it would be my son's birthday or some other event, then that helped. Lots of times by the time the event came I would feel better. Best wishes to you.
