I thought it may be appropriate to post helpline numbers here for your state/country.
My understanding of the depression forum is that we are all suffering or recovering from depression, anxiety or a mental illness and also have PCOS. For me, this site has reduced my feeling of being all alone, or the only one that feels this way. It has provided me with support and I can write whatever I feel without people knowing my identity or judging me.
But I know personally that I am not a psychologist so I would hope that if someone on this board was feeling unsafe that they would contact a professional who has the necessary training & experience to help them.
