Fiction books centred around suicide or self harm?

Not sure if I should have posted this in off topic section. As the title says I'm looking for books that have suicide and/or self harm plot. Preferably adult age and fiction genre but open to anything. The more heartbreaking the better.

The Sorrows of Young Werther

Not necessarily about suicide or self harm, but very disturbing and also heartbreaking is Tender is the Flesh by Augustina Bazterrica. There is a lot of self loathing and hating the world in it and rightfully so. I swear I've never been the same after reading it.

No Longer Human by Osamu Dazai, it's a pretty brutal novel that includes themes of mental illnesses, depression, alienation, abuse, addiction, and suicide. Also the author of the book CTB himself a month before the book was published

A minor apocalipse by Tadeusz Konwicki IT is about a Man living in PRL Poland during communism period. Book describe his last day before public self immolation. IT is very heavy themes book showing a lot of absurd and sorrow of living in communism country. You may have problem with cultural contexts but IT is definitely worth reading.

Boulder by Eva Balthasar. It's a short novel about a woman who is chronically suicidal - her suicidality features really prominently and it's very sensitively done.
