Recognize that a person who commits suicide is forbidden paradise.
Be sure to talk to your local Imam if you feel suicidal. The imam should generally not be judgemental in his response. The imam, should, however, show or quote to you the above hadith or similar rulings, at least so you know the consequences on your soul. Seek out the Islamic counsel that is there to guide and encourage you on the right path, not the perceived easy path.
Say, "astaghfirALLAH wa atubu alaihi" (May Allah have mercy on me and accept my repentance) 100 times a day, as was a sunnah of Prophet Muhammad, saaws.
When fearful, say "La ilaha ill Allah" (there is no deity but Allah).
If someone expresses suicidal thoughts to you, it is important that you warn him or her of the consequences.
Do not kill yourself. Seek Allah's Mercy, for surely Allah, subhana watala, is All Merciful. Humbly seek the help of your Lord.
