I don't know where to go from here

[Atlasiplier]

Hi, I've been feeling really hopeless and suicidal recently and I'm not completely sure how to get help. I have a lot of trouble with motivation but I'm also sick of people telling me to "just breathe" or "take it one step at a time" but that doesn't help anymore! I need someone to convince me it's worth it to keep going. I'm not doing it because of my family or friends, I just don't think I should continue.

I don't know, I've been feeling like this for almost 2 years now and I just feel it's time to give up.
