Dear borderliner,
I read your post directed to me and my heart goes out to you. I've had moments like that, but they have passed. If these are consistent thoughts of suicide, make sure you check in with someone regularly, and especially if you feel the need to act on them.
One option -- I don't know if it was already mentioned in this thread -- is hospitalization. Yeah, it seems like a last resort, you might not feel that you can take the time out right now, and maybe you feel a certain stigma associated with it.
But it can really help to get you settled down and on a med that actually helps you. The time is small in the grand scheme of things, if it can get you on a good path in your life. Also, you shouldn't let the stigma of it affect you. Mental imbalances are also a disease and people regularly go to the hospital and stay to have other diseases treated.
Others on this board have followed this path, and benefited greatly, I believe. Maybe they can chime in here?
Good luck,
