This is too serious an issue to rely on message board feedback for. You should know that many of the resources available to suicidal people are also available to their friends; find a hotline, call, and get advice; follow up with any resources they give you. Get professional help as soon as you can.

just called 1-800-SUICIDE, they didn't really give any helpful advice other than telling me ways to calm down myself.. I feel even more helpless now. Thinking about calling the police, not sure if too crazy of a thing to do...
