Do you see a psychiatrist? it might be very helpful to seek a diagnosis and treatment from a professional.
I deal with chronic suicidality and have done so since I was a child. For me, it's not only depression, but also CPTSD, etc.
I work at living in the Present Moment and find ways to distract myself from the suicidal thoughts/feelings.
Learning coping skills might be very helpful to you.
Have you done any CBT, DBT or Mindfulness training?
Please stay safe.

I haven’t seen a professional since high school, and I’ll be 22 this year. I’m supposed to be shipping out for the military any day now, and mental illness is a no go for that career, the only career left for me at this point. And how would you recommend getting started with mindfulness training and all that? To be fair I’m not even sure what any of that is.
