not mentally ill, but in dire need of someone to relate to and get help. Contemplating suicide is a scream for help, not a meaningless noise.

With some people, those feelings are situational. Not having the tools to adequately deal with depression doesn't make a person mentally ill. That being said, you're onto something, because most suicidal people to have mental illnesses, whether they've been diagnosed or not. Good question! +5

No...just seriously emotionally distressed, and in great need for finding the corrective solutions for that which is causing that distress. Doing so is quite possible...but it is not an easy undertaking. +5
