Have you spoken to a mental health professional? Suicidal ideation is a lot of times a result of depression or un/diagnosed mental health disorder. You can't really do things to prevent without seeking professional help.

Things that can alleviate some of the possible causes could be diet, like if you eat fast food alot or high sodium/sugar it can affect mood, also lethargy from lack of water if you aren't drinking enough water, and exercise. Also vitamin d, Black folks are solar powered so if you aren't getting enough vitamin D from primarily sunlight or supplements it can cause mood disorders like what people call seasonal depression.

All that stuff won't instantly fix everything but it's a foundation to build on.

I just try to distract myself and since I know I’ll probably never do it there’s no reason to dwell on them

See a therapist

Exercise

Find a new hobby/Side business. You’ll be too busy to think such thoughts.

I'm currently on lexapro, I'm also trying to find a therapist that I like also. Like @KingZaire_ said try distract yaself. You have any hobbies, other passions that you really enjoy? shyt, I like to paint also graphic design, collecting rare/obscure music, shyt legit brings me joy lol. :wow:
Try to do things that kinda lift your spirits, a lot a times you gotta force yourself to do it but the more your busy (doing constructive shyt) the less you have those thoughts, well at least for me. Being active, exercising is very important too. I mean none of these things are cures but they can help get through and live your life a lil easier. :ehh:

Much love to you OP and all the other brehs and brehettes going through the struggle. :salute:
