So lately I've been really struggling with this. I'm awful at sharing my feelings with him, especially about being suicidal. I'm not sure if he knows, he just knows I'm depressed. He's never been clinically depressed. 

The word itself is so heavy and loaded and *serious*, you know? I've been going back and forth between just wanting to do the deed without telling anyone and asking for help. But for me it's one or the other. And I don't know how to do the latter (apparently).

It's been getting really bad, the thoughts and fantasies and planning and actually prepping... I need to tell him/someone. 

He's a very sweet person and supportive and eager to understand. I just need to know how to phrase it without feeling like a ridiculous drama queen.
