Please follow up with your treating Psychiatrist and report to him about your suicidal ideas. If you have been on any antidepressants, please check with your doctor if you need to make any changes in the dosage or the medicines, for a better effect.
If you have had suicidal attempts in the past, the chances are always high that you will have suicidal ideas in future. I suggest you also try to find out if there are any stressors and triggers that bring on suicidal thoughts. It will help you if you can find a psychotherapist to work with, as well as take a course of anti-depressants.
Do write back here for us to know you are doing better.
I also experience these symptoms on and off and from my experience Honestly,I think you should consult a psychiatrist as soon as possible. Until then you need to live :)
You should consult a psychiatrist as early as possible to start an antidepressant.drugs take time to start working.In that case ECT is a good option if depression is severe.This you can discuss with your psychiatrist.Multivitamin deficiency may lead to depression,so continue taking multivitamins as advised by your doctor.
