What happens of you tell a GP you're suicidal?

Does anyone know? Does it depend on the GP? I don't think I'm mentally ill, I think I'm having a totally normal reaction to trauma. I'm not even sure medication or therapy could help. I'm scared I'll be sectioned or my children will be taken away or I'll go on some sort of list. Because the true extent of it is that every hour of every day is spent thinking about this. I can barely function, every building I see is weighed up as a potential place to jump from. Every road a temptation, every shopping trip a way getting more pills.
I'm so tired and I know this is wrong. I don't know what to do and I know they say go to a GP but what happens then?
