I am having thoughts of suicide

I never thought or imagine that I would end myself and I don't want to die, but at the same time I want to die. I don't know how to explain it. I've been thinking about suicide for a while now, but its not everyday that i think about it. I'm in the US Army Reserve and every time it is drill weekend i think of suicide. I want to get out of the army but I don't want to suffer UCMJ and I dont want to talk to my First Line Leader or Commander about it. Besides from that, I also have some serious issue like, I dont want to find a job. I've been unemploy for over a year. Living with my parents. I'm still young, 21 years of age. but I am in debt from college, stuck staying in my room, dont want to hangout with friends or family. I just want to stay in my bed, dream, watch tv shows and waste my life on a fantasy. I'm failing in life and in myself. I am not sure if i am committed to killing myself, but i am afraid that I might kill myself. I love my parents and I can't let them suffer the pain of losing me. I dont do drugs and I have not been deploy so I have not experience any kind of battle trauma. I am planning on going awol, but its the Reserve so the punishment is less harsh. However that doesn't matter to me if I am committed to kill myself. I need some opinion on this. Why am I feeling this way? I forgot to give out a little detail. I have thought about killing myself and thought of ways to kill myself but have not plan to kill myself as I am not sure.
