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.
In Australia, (thank you Sleepydumpling aka Kath) there is a 7 day 24 hour helpline - LIFELINE 13 11 14 or www.lifeline.org.au.
There is also SANE (Mon - Fri, 9 to 5) on 1800 187 263,
Depressionet has a Keep Safe page that advises those that are feeling unsafe to Contact an emergency helpline, their doctor, an ambulance, a friend, a neighbour, a hospital immediately.
PLEASE CYSTERS KEEP SAFE.

Also, if you are seriously on the edge, and about to cause harm to yourself, call 911. I know that it may be difficult (to say the least) to muster up the strength to make that call, but your life is worth it. That's what 911 centres are there for - to deal with emergencies. They will send police officers and paramedics who will take you someplace safe where you can get help and support from professionals. They have seen and heard it all, and are equipped to intervene in such situations.
I read a website called "Postsecrets.com" It's a guy who posts anonymous postcards people send him with a secret they've never told anyone on it. Some people find it very liberating to let that secret go this way.
He's also affiliated with a suicide hotline dedicated who someone who needed one and didn't find one. Here's the website and toll free phone number. It will direct you to the nearest certified crisis center automatically.
