I agree with this. Also, I know from experience that I did eventually reach a point where things were better and the sucidal thoughts were less. Life did get better. It was in ways I didn't expect or even think of at the time when my depression was the worst. It's not something that happens over night, but as a progression, and a lot of it getting better was due to my own actions and working towards making myself well. Believing that suicidal thoughts are a lie your brain is telling you has made a huge impact on my life. It makes it much easier to survive them when they come.
