How do you console a suicidal person without guilt-tripping them?

I was a severely depressed person who didn't know they were depressed. I thought I get up everyday and hate every second of it without jumping off a bridge...why can't they.

One day I went to the doctor because it was suggested I might have an anxiety disorder and after some tests and questions my doctor said it sounded like I was depressed.

I spoke to a friend about it and realized it wasn't normal to never be happy. Now I fight the urge to take that final step everyday.

My biggest issue with it Is putting my parents and grandfather through it, but at some point existing in utter sadness and hopelessness to spare the feeling of others might not cut it.
