Do you ever think about dying??

Question

You know, those crappy feelings that you just want everything to end.. is it just me??

Answer 1

I have thought about it lots and lots. The older I get the more I think about it. I was just telling someone about reincarnation, I think people believe in it to make themselves feel better about dying, you know if you die and are reincarnated then you don't feel so bad about dying. But, even tho I don't believe in reincarnation, I still pray with all my heart that I live to be in at least my 80's and die peacefully in my sleep. I really don't want to die a tragic or painfull death.
Most importantly to answer your question, I have thought about dying to ease my pain, thinking no more of this neverending everyday crap that people call life, but then I think about my kids, my grandkids, my friends, my family, and then I really start htinking about all the good things in my life. There really is more good then bad, we just dwell on the bad and not the good for some reason. I hope you can find some good things in your life to think about to live for!!! May God Bless You and have a wonderful happy New Year--I am here to talk to!!!

Answer 2

EVERYONE goes through depression, and it's normal to think about dying once in a while too, but its a whole lot more fun to chase a dream. If you are really getting suicidal, get help. if you are just playing a drama of some kind, know this.... Often when depressed people think about killing themselves, they are just feeling sorry for themselves, or they just want people to feel bad after they're gone, or about something they did to them. Some want those left behind to feel like it was their fault, Some just want someone to pity them, "oh the poor thing, nobody cared" syndrome. Well, if you kill yourself, you won't even know if things ever got better, and you sure won't be enjoying them if they did. You won't know if anyone felt sorry you did it either, and what would it matter. Chances are the first six weeks after you're gone, most will be saying "gee that was too bad" the next six months they will be remembering you only occasionally and say "gee, remember when so and so killed themselves- what a dumb ***." A year later no one will even give a rip, they have more important things to do than feel sorry about someone long gone. Life goes on Kiddo, so if you think it's a good thing to make someone sad just because you are, drop the selfish act and quit stealing someone else's energy. grab ahold of some life of your own cuz after your gone your gone, and everyone will still be going to the fair but you. Get some interests that will take you somewhere positive. Its when you are doing things in your life that make you a "Nobody goin Nowhere," that you get depressed. Who wouldn't ? No one said it would be all love and candy, So grab ahold of a dream, start picking out the good parts and let the other crap go down the toilet where it belongs.

Yes, darlin', I do. I think everyone does from time to time. If someone says they don't, I personally think they are kidding themselves. Those feelings are part of being human. What counts is how you handle yourself when you have those feelings. I myself do a type of meditation when I feel that way. In my mind I take myself to my safe place. Everyone is different. It has to be somewhere where you feel very comfortable and safe,ie your grandmother's kitchen where you smell the pancakes she always made you, or my favorite, in a lush green field of wildflowers. The wind is blowing and I hear a babbling brook. See, what ever is comfortable for you. I also have a place where I put all the ugly things that I'm not ready to deal with Again in my mind. I'm the only one that knows where it is and how to open it. Sweetie, you are okay. There is nothing to worry about. You are not a freak. If it helps, find someone nonjudgmental to talk to. Lots of luck.

Answer 4

Of course. Living from moment to moment can weigh a great deal on a mind full of over driven images and expectations.
Slow down.... Look at the wonder of real living things....spent some time just taking it in....Dream, think, laugh allot, at your self and the ridiculous way the world scrambles about in this oh so advanced day n age.

But, perhaps that's not what you r asking..? The end of life? The last gasp of air, sight sound and all else ceasing? the realization that we end like all living things? Again of course.
Or are you referring to the physical decomposition of the body.??

Answer 5

I am not sure to understand the meaning of your question. Do you mean thinking about suicide? or thinking about the predictable end to life as we know?

I used to be scared of dying. I stopped thinking about it since it won't change anything by worrying about it. I just hope I won't suffer when the time comes.

The thought of dying might be considered as a solution for a problem. Although, nobody really knows, I don't think it is a good way to deal with problems. There are other solutions other then dying.

It is a matter of reaching out to someone who can help see the problem in a different way. There are no problem with no solution. It is a matter of choosing to fight rather then giving up.

Answer 6

No it's not just you....check out the site below.
Plus it may be a symptom of something else going on....a friend of mine had severe depression...this lead to these feelings that he didn't understand. Especially since so many things were going right in his life, he felt like he had no right to feel this bad..,,,it took three months for the Psychiatrist to get him on the right medication, but in the end he was thankful that everyone pushed him to get help.

Answer 7

No it's definately not just you, even though when we're feeling like this we tend to believe we're alone. The best advice I can give you is to make sure you reach out to a friend and talk about the issues that are making you feel so depressed. Be honest so that they know the extent of your feelings. This will help them to encourage you to live another day. I'm not sure what your life is like, but I am hoping you've had some good days. Life isn't all bad, it only seems like it when we have challenges or when we feel like failures. - Don't forget to remember the good times and please, please don't hurt yourself. I'll say a prayer for you.

Answer 8

Yes, I have. It's not just you.

Most people have probably thought about it, but won't admint it due to pride.

You'll get plenty of advice on getting out, exercising, seeing a psychiatrist, etc. Yes, all of that is good and it does work.

The true test is, do you have a really hard time getting out of bed in the morning? If you do wakeup, do you just feel like staying in bed or going back to sleep?

Something that always seems to help is to do something to help someone else....I know it might sound corny, but it works.

Good luck and Have a good New Year.

Answer 9

Everyone has an occasional thought about dying and ending it. Most people promptly follow that thought with thoughts of their loved ones that they would hurt. If you have family, use thoughts of them as your shield.

You also need to think about what you would miss. There are beautiful things out there that you would not get to enjoy. There are funny things, too. And the love of your life could be out there. If you end it now, he will never meet you.

Hold on and trust God to make things better. He will hear.

Answer 10

my grandfather used to say it was like giving up, you have to fight for what you want. whenever i get that feeling i remember this one day when my grandmother's radio got stolen. the guy was on a bicycle and my grandfather was around 50 and he ran about eight miles to catch up with the guy, beat him up and took the radio back. after he walked back home he had a heartattack. the doctor said he only had a few months but he lived 10 years after that.
i never give up whenever i set out to do something. i dont think anyone ever should no matter bleak it mights seem. dont use how 'hard' something is as an excuse to give up.
