Try calling a suicide hotline or talking to a councilor. If in immediate danger call 911. It's good to get help.

I'm not so sure there are any "good" resources for chatrooms to help one deal with suicidal thoughts or behaviors. Such a room, I would think, would need definite responsible moderation by a well-trained individual. And, often, group discussion of suicide might actually push someone to follow through with the act by just keeping the topic on their minds when maybe distraction might be better for a person in that moment. I would suggest contacting a crisis line to speak with a crisis line worker who has been trained in how to communicate with someone at risk for suicide. The following resource may be of help if you know someone in need: http://www.suicidepreventionlifeline.org/ or 1-800-273-TALK (8255)

All the resources shown on 7cups are fine, but the most important thing is that the more you talk with them, the less likely they will want to do it. They just need someone to listen to them, which is somteimes hard to get by.

The Trevor Project has a great hotline, and I've received excellent care through the Crisis Text Line (741-741).
