"Thank you for reaching out for help. It is really courageous of you.
These are some heavy negative symptoms that you have expressed. I can't imagine what you might be going through. Your symptoms show that you might be experiencing extreme saddness to the level of depression, and it is advisable for you to seek out therapy.
There are multiple issues and circumstances that you've been going through to be feeling this way, and it may be necessary to seek professional help to deal with them. And suicide is not the solution.
Since you said you have been feeling this way for over a year, I urge you to reach out for professional help.

Hi... Just one piece of advice, please seek professional help best available to you.
There is no such point where we can decide, yes we are under some psychological problems and hence we need professional intervention.
What you have shared - 'body Image Issue, crying, suicidal thoughts, etc' . - are signs of an underlying condition but not enough to make a conclusive statement or diagnosis.
Next Steps
Seek professional help

Wellness Greetings to you
We human beings do not count success and cherish them for a long time but number of failures will be given more than enough attention and we end up judging us as a failure. We don't see the attempts a failed one but we see our self as a failure. Now this kind of negative self talk which will drain your optimism and practical views on regular life will automatically build the process neurologically that you are not enough and you have lost all your charm. See when it all started and how long it has gone deeper to create impact and subconscious level so that you have problems in quality of sleep .If you find difficult to go in depth analysis do not hesitate to take the guidance of a professional here.
Next Steps
For further guidance, do just reach me here.
