I need advice. Not in a good way

Please, please no judgement. And I know I'm going to get the MN 'get some real life advice' post but right this second I just need some support/advice on here.

If I were to phone an ambulance and say I think I might kill myself. What then happens? I have children, a house, a partner, etc. I don't know if I would but I can't shift the idea and have been sitting in absolute tears for hours now, I have a splitting headache and can barely move. I feel like I'm in so much pain but there is no real injury. I am very depressed but I suppress it hugely and sometimes it just breaks me down. I've been very worried recently that I have BPD, and think it's a very real possibility that I do which is terrifying.
So yes, if I really selfishly phoned an ambulance and said to them I think I might kill myself tobight, what then happens? Do I get sectioned? Do I lose my children? Social services? I'm not saying I won't phone in the case of these things, but I need to know for my own sanity (ha) Please help.

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website, or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.
