I am highly against suicide but not in the sense that it's for the weak or anything. I noticed there's this phrase that pops up whenever somebody talks about suicide - "what's the point?". Often it's said in reference to "what's the point in life" or "what's the point in trying to change" your/their situation. I believe that killing yourself prematurely is even more pointless. While you're alive, there is always opportunity for happiness, whether it feels likely or not, while dead, there are only negative consequences.
My recommendation is that you go immerse yourself in activities you would never normally do. That could be as simple as travelling, trying out a new sport, meeting up with totally new people. It sounds dumb, and likely not interesting, but I cannot even describe in words what a difference new, unexpected experiences make on your level of happiness.
I say this assuming somebody/yourself with thoughts of suicide is not greatly suffering from terminal health problems and so on.
