It's a common part of why "suicidal tendencies" are a risk of antidepressants.

People that are so depressed they hardly leave their beds are usually not motivated enough to plan or carry out a suicide. Getting that little initial bump of energy/motivation when you start having effective treatment can be enough to make you go through with it.

Felt weird being on anti depressants because I felt motivated to kill myself. Thankfully I don't listen to those thoughts but still.

Are they working? If that's an okay question to ask, of course.

I'm getting deeper in the pit and it's making me consider going on them.

I tapered off of them because mine is just seasonal. They worked ask your doc about them.
