Thoughts Of Suicide Again

Question

Lately I have been having these thoughts of suicide again. My mom doesn't listen to me and often tunes me out. And my father doesn't really bother even talking to me. My sister lives in another city and my brother lives in another state. My friends heard about my depression and have drifted away. My boyfriend has even stopped talking to me. I know suicide isn't the answer but it just seems like it right now. I have a suicide note written already. I have the things to make it happen. But I'm just too scared to do it. But if I don't, the worst will happen to me and well...... I just don't know what to do.
