Sadly logic isn't a part of clinical depression.

I have a close relative who attempted suicide after the death of his wife. Eighteen months later and he's still sectioned, because of fears of what he might do to himself. No amount of saying 'pull yourself' together' and 'it's always darkest before the dawn' work. We have oodles of sayings in English, which illustrate good common sense when it comes to suicidal tendencies, but as stated earlier logic doesn't come into it. It's a long and a nightmarish journey, back from the depths of despair.

This is why I recently got so angry the other week, when some joker on here suggested anyone with depression should top themselves.
