Constant dreams of suicide.

I've suffered from depression for years now, but over the past year now things have been getting more and more severe. For the past month now I've been having dreams of suicide every night. In my dreams I'm always in an empty room alone. I usually wake up before going through with the suicide, but occasionally I'll have a dream where I swallow pills or begin to slit my wrists before waking up. Most of the dreams just involve me sitting in the room wishing I was dead and contemplating the best way to go through with it.

I've had some level of suicidal thought off and on for the duration of my depression, but sleep used to be an escape from those thoughts when I needed it most. Now, I feel like sleeping simply reinforces my negative thoughts about myself. I don't know what I can do to stop this. Can somebody please help me?

You need professional help. Do you take meds? Do you have a therapist to talk to?

Please keep yourself safe. It's very important that you seek medical advice about this as there is effective help available.
