> Part of the problem is I just don't know how to bring the subject up. In fact, I'm even having trouble calling him because I just don't know what to say.

How about something like, "I think I need a medication adjustment. Lately I've been frightened, because I find myself having thoughts about suicide -- and I know I don't want to do that. It just feels as though life isn't worth living, and I can't seem to find hope lately." Something that tells him you know that you're not planning suicide, but also conveys just how deeply depressed you're becoming?

Just a thought...
