    Kate below is right

    Call Mental Health services in your area. Also try local Crises Lines, i.e. suicide hotlines. I used to volunteer for one we not only talked to people in immediate need but passed out phone numbers to call for anyone who needed help. Call the local hospital and explain the situation they may refer you somewhere. There are resources out there for situations just like this. (I am also anonymous below. You will be OK.)
