Daughter has suicidal ideation

This may or may not be relevant. Some days Im fine for a time , but eventually, in time I always go back to craving death. There may be nothing wrong around me but I will once again fall into the depths of severe depression. I have tried to die three times. Three times I was brought back.
For me, being ready to die is like standing over a dark abyss. Once you are on the edge, it’s extremely hard to step off of it. It beacons me. It says come to me and I will take all of your pain away. You cant imagine how tempting this is.
This may go on for weeks. …. And one day I’ll wake up and be just fine, like nothing happened.
Im just starting to get help. Its looking very much like I have something called bipolar 2, Which Im told is severe depression, but without the manic high’s. I didn’t know there was such a thing. I hope one day I will know what it’s like to be happy. But for now , I struggle with this great sadness. But for the 1st time I have a new perspective that perhaps it is an imbalance. Maybe I can survive through understanding, and the right medication. 💊 I don’t know.
Im in between normal, and suicidal…. For a while. So I will try to fix this… until I don’t want to. Till the cravings come back.
Maybe this is her too…. Or maybe not, but I hope its helpful.

tayla, your choice of the word craving is spot on. But for those who haven't really felt the craving for death, it's very different from just thinking or even planning (suicidal ideations) for death. I am not diminishing the thinking and planning, but it is definitely different than craving death. I have been told and I can feel it, it's the release/relief from the physical and mental pain that makes us crave death. I'm am my own ball and chain, wrapped around my neck. Why does this have to exist? It's literally living with your worst enemy inside your mind and body. I don't even get a little help with meds, I can't take any antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds, I only get the bad and super bad effects and zippo of the helpful effects. Maybe I really pissed off the universe and this is payback. Cuz, I would never treat anyone else, the way I treat myself.
