The hungry empty plate

A long time ago I used to feel very empty inside and I used to sleep almost all my nights in tears, wishing I was someone more loved, important , intelligent and successful; someone who would make people proud to know me. I already was. It's been a while since that bad time in my life and I thought I was actually better but it turned out to be that I never got better. I was very stupid. Two months ago, I started feeling that same negative void in my chest, screaming about how obnoxious I am, convincing myself that I'm too annoying for everyone. Right now I can say that I have very strong suicidal thoughts, they are continuous and the only thing I do is feed them. I don't know what to do, I know I won't succumb yet because I'm such a coward, but anyway, I can't create any more methods or escapes for this problem. I can't stand the emptiness anymore and the pain only grows.
Well, it sounds like you know that it is caused by some unidentified factor (chemical?) and not reality

Can you identify any external triggers?

You also know that it is of a temporary duration because you have spontaneously gotten better before

Therapy would be likely based on you challenging your negative self talk, rather than continuing to feed it
