Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Dear, You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were you disappointed in the near past? How serious it was?

Suicidal ideation concerns thoughts about or an unusual preoccupation with suicide. Suicidal ideation is generally associated with depression; however, it seems to have associations with many other psychiatric disorders, life events, and family events, all of which may increase the risk of suicidal ideation. Recurrent suicidal behavior and suicidal ideation is a hallmark of borderline personality disorder.

Therefore, you must consult a psychiatrist for assessment and treatment.
