depressive episode 2.0

I have fallen into a depressive episode these past three weeks, usually my episodes can last weeks or months, longest one lasted a year and that was tough. This one has lasted three weeks so far and it seems to only be getting worse as time goes on. It is difficult to combat sucidial thoughts that push me to believe that is the best option but deep down I know that it's not and I have to be stronger and more resilient that the issues that pluage me. I am doing better today, it is one of my better days where I don't feel completely better but I feel motivated enough to push through and get my online school work done since I am already behind as I haven't been doing anything but sleeping these past couple weeks. whenever I get really depressed, I get extremely tired all the time, no matter how much sleep I seem to get. I lose all my appitite which makes me eat about one meal a day if any. I am struggling and honestly I could really use some encouragement and advice right about now.
