UPDATE: I am doing a little bit better but not much I had one episode last night where I was suicidal. I am feeling a little stressed out because I have so much going on this month with the 4th of July coming up, family reunion/graduation party, etc. etc. Prayers are most definitely needed for this month because of everything going on. Thanks all.

If you feel suicidal in the future, please phone a suicide hot line. And talk to your doctor about this. Stress can be a big trigger, but there has to be more going on underneath.
A lack of neurotransmitters in the brain can make the perfect life seem like it is not worth living. I went through about 7 years of deep depression when I first got RA. God did help me in amazing ways, and I am depression free. But part of helping me was getting me the right psychiatrist, the right meds, and eating better and exercising more.
You sound like you are having "intrusive thoughts." This can be stopped with the right medication. And if you ever need to talk, please PM me.
Praying for you, sjr, and for Zerotublence. The same for you - just PM me! (I am a trained chaplain, and have had many courses and personal experience with depression and other mental illnesses!)

Hey update time now.
I have accepted Christ into my heart 6 days ago. I still am struggling with things like feeling down. I use to be and still am a self harmer but its getting better I haven't done anything in 5 months now. The suicidal thought's seem to be getting a little bit better also now that I know that its from the enemy but Prayers are most definitely needed still. I will update everyone when I can.
