I never thought it was possible to stop being so depressed, and suicidal but when I changed my focus from looking at all the things that I thought were bad in my life, and started looking at the tiny glimmers of positive moments in my day, and became more accepting of myself, I changed my focus. Things have become far more positive, I actually have moments in my day where I feel mildly happy, although I still struggle alot with self doubt.
I had a really bad inner critic in my head, I had become my own abuser, one I couldn't escape, I was unrelenting.
My self talk and my inner critic are more in check unless badly triggered, now when I have thoughts which is rare, they lack the same intent so I am no longer planning, and they are usually gone in less than hour or two, and don't usually come back.
Every one is different, I was badly affected by anti-depressants, but what really helped was accepting myself, it made a difference for me. Try not to lose hope.
