Maxime, you are waiting until tomorrow morning for the crisis team? They should come tonight IMHO. You need help, fast. I'm concerned about you.
I won't give you my personal opinion on suicide because you are in crisis now and I doubt it would help.
All I can say is that you and your friends and family are better off with you living rather than dying. I know it doesn't feel that way right now. Just try to remember that this part of you that is suicidal is part of the mental illness and not part of your healthy self. Please don't follow any directives issued by the suicidal part of yourself.
Please get help so that you can listen to that side of yourself and learn to accept it as a part of you and that it doesn't control you. You have power over the suicidal part of your self.
All of us have a self-destructive side within us. It's a side that most people don't want to acknowledge. You are acknowledging it. It's important because it has something to say to you. It tells you that you are human like everyone else, and that like everyone else, you need the help and love of others almost before you can help and love yourself, at least at the moment.
So, listen to those of us who care about you and want to see you get better. You wrote this post for a reason, yes? I believe you are looking for support, help, and love. I'm sending loving thoughts your way so that you can get live help from live human beings that will be present for you so that you may heal through this stage of life.
Maxime, I wish you every blessing and comfort. May you find peace, love, and happiness in this life. May it find you as fast as possible...
Love,
Simcha
