I was told the suicidal thoughts were an alarm that went along with feeling hopeless, and that a person feels hopeless when nothing they do is enough or right, or sufficient.

Actually for me suicidal thoughts & actions were because I felt like a trapped caged animal with no way to escape & I saw this as my only way to escape. Had nothing to do with doing enough or right or sufficient. At that point I had no desire to make the marriage ok....I just wanted out & there was no way at the time for that to happen.
There are many deep reasons for suicidal feelings & actions & sometimes we don't even acknowledge them at the time they are happening. To give specific reasonings for someone feeling that way negates other reasonings that can actually be there underlying it all. We have to be careful when we say "this is how people feel when they have those thoughts" I didn't even know that trapped feeling was the cause until after years of good therapy & going back & analyzing my thoughts. Be careful limiting the reasons for feeling that way
