I am a Social Worker at the local department of social Services and over my career several people have said they " wanted to end itall" or they couldn't take this much longer" etc. Few have used the phrase I want to kill myself and fewer still have revealed they had a plan. It is such a serious and critical time and you want to say and xdo the right thing including calling 911 or doing an emergency petition. Any and all information is very useful.
