Suggest Treatment For Suicidal Tendencies Due To Mental Stress

I cut myself on purpose today. I had some serious decisions to make and I didn t know what to do. It just felt so overwhelming. I feel I have to stay with my old job, because I make better money there, but my boss feels I am not good enough in how my style of dress comes across to clients that walk in the store. I am a designer of many years, and very proud of it. I recently had a job offer, but it was lower commission and farther to drive, but I did like the boss. I felt I needed to stay with the job I have now, because of the income, however, I may be fired in a couple of months if I don t sell at least $80,000 worth this month. So I was so frustrated I cut myself with scissors on the op of my hand. It seemed to just take the mental pain away.
