Susan, I've always thought that my suicidal thoughts had an OCD component. Especially the recurring persistant ones. Some of my mental health professionals seem to agree, others don't.
But I can sort of tell an obsession. There's a "feel" to them. If you've got OCD, maybe you know what I mean. And suicidal obsessions in response to stress have that "feel".
You're working long enough hours that the stress has to be building up, and when it builds up it has to discharge somewhere. Why don't you try to make sure you can keep working by scheduling a therapy appointment to discharge some of that stress safely.
