I have had issues with suicidal ideation for a long time. Luckily I have never acted on it. However I will get very strong urges. Like lately I am realizing how easy it would be.

I am conflicted because I don’t think I want to necessarily kill myself but I want to take them Also I refuse to give them to someone to hold like my T wants me to. I think it is a control thing. Just the urges get strong at times and with my work issues it is getting worse.

Well... I have to tell you that, based on my experience, it seems to me you may be playing with fire as the saying goes. I've made two previous attempts of this sort. Neither of them were planned. And I wasn't particularly depressed either (at least not any more than usual.) I don't even think I knew it was coming. I just woke up each of the two mornings in question. I was angry (at myself & the world.) So I suddenly decided I was going to do something about it. And since I had enough pills stored up, I had the means to do it.

Of course, what mental health professionals always say is: if you feel you may be in danger call someone. But what I have said to a number of the professionals I've seen is... if I was rational enough to know I needed to call someone, then I wouldn't likely be in any real danger. But if I was really in danger, it's unlikely I would be rational enough to call someone. So... given that you say you have very strong urges, my thinking would be that having access to the pills you have may be really asking for trouble. I wish you well...

We have pills to help us yet sometimes having them in our possession can be a risky thing. Please be safe!

Call a warm line and talk with someone. Do you have a family member that can come get your pills? Just leave you with a few days worth.

I don't want to sound pessimistic, however, taking a lot of pills is the worst record in the industry.
