Hi,
I read your query and can understand what you might be going through. From what you have mentioned, you seem to be suffering from a depressive episode. All your symptoms are explainable on the basis of depression.
Since you are already harbouring suicidal thoughts, it is recommended that you seek a psychiatric consultation without any further delay. You need treatment with anti-depressants like sertraline. A short course of bezodiazepines initially would help in reducing anxiety and inducing sleep. In addition, you also need to talk to some one close regarding whats going on within you. That will help ease yourself. Start exercising daily which will help you relax.
Hope you start treatment and get well soon. Best wishes.
