It is completely normal. You have been in pain for a while and your body feels it cannot take it anymore so naturally you would think about suicide. However, just because you think about suicide doesn’t mean you will kill your self. I’m sure your doctor can help you get through these thoughts. After all, you have lived through 4 years of pain surely you can live through some bad thoughts. You are strong.

My advice: Don’t give up! The very least you can do is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.
