Answers:
they say as time goes by mental illness gets worse!. Especially without treatment!. but Im sure that probably goes for when you aren't getting the right treatment too!. Anyway, i can totally relate!. Ive gotten help, and was diagnosed with major depression and i feel like sometimes there's a glimmer of hope and then i go spiraling back down!. It sucks!. I don't want to kill myself either!. I mean i do, but, i know Im not suppose to do that!. I feel weak, and that weakness is preventing me from seeking further help!. You are on the right path though!. You are getting the help you need, there is some hope for you!. You just need to work out the kinks with your medication!. If you hold on a little while longer things just might work out for you!. So hang in there!. Like you said your doing all you can to help, and sometimes you cant help a relapse!. Soon enough those relapses will be less frequent and you'll be glad you stuck in there a little while longer!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

For a start, it's great you're on medication!.
Is there a particular trigger that brings on the psychosis!? Or when you recognise these thoughts becoming worse, I'd recommend checking yourself into the hospital - they can give you something to lessen the severity of the suicidal thoughts - plus they can keep an eye on you and stop you from harming yourself!.
You're not weak!. Maybe it's a matter of the medication not working as well for you as it should!. It's worth bringing up with your doctor or psychiatrist!.
I wish you all the best!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There is nothing to fear but fear itself!.

Its an old cliche but it is a wise one!.

You need to find another doctor and get a second opinion because right now, worrying about it and not taking charge will keep you chasing your tail!.

Some doctors could be wrong about you and remember, meds are prescribed by observation not detailed MRI's or blood tests!. So, you need to see another professional with another perspective that may be better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hey hang in there mate, I have had and have friends who have been depressed and I have had minor depression in the past!.
I would try to do somethng every day that you enjoy and that way you will start to feel better about yourself!.
