Ok, so I have been having these suicidal ideations. I know that I wont act on them, but I can't get them to just go away and leave me alone!! Any ideas, suggestions, etc to help these thoughts stop? I'm not sure if this is something I need to be hospitalized for??

Have you considered calling a hotline? They are anonymous and free. I used to work on one and I know they go through extensive training. They are used to this type of thing so don't get freaked out by it at all. And sometimes it helps to unburden yourself. Sometimes they also have good suggestions. If there is no local one, there is a national one.

My suicidal ideations were mostly obsessive compulsive. They went for sometimes 7 a minute. I (with medication) have learned to change my habitual thinking. Therapy also helped me to think better about myself. The usual thoughts are unworthy to be alive, I want to be invisible, I shouldn't be alive. But I stop the circle thinking and replace it with healthier thoughts. Then, the bad doesn't take over.

This is good advise. But seek medical attention from a psychiatrist. He may be able to help you with medication and therapy is a good idea too.
