[PSY]

Are you currently seeking help for these suicidal thoughts? If you don't have a treatment plan in place, then I can't imagine you're getting as much support as you deserve to have, and that's going to make functioning at EVERY level more difficult. Trying to suppress these thoughts won't work forever. I mean, distracting yourself by spending time with loved ones is great in the short-term, but in the long-term, you'll need to come up with something more concrete.

I know I've had difficulty studying for tests/completing assignments in the past, primarily because I was overcome with anxiety/worry ("What if I don't do well?" "What if this is all in vain?"). Trying to think positively, thinking about all the fun things I could do after getting that work out of the way, really helped. I know you may not feel as if there is anything fun to look forward to in the future... but if you can, try to find something, even if it's as simple as watching a movie with a friend once the assignment has been turned in.
