Wishing you were dead

I posted a similar post in the chronic pain group, but I did a discussion on umy podcast about this question. I would love it if anyone would check it out but I really would like to know everyone's thought on this. Do you have days where you simply wish you were dead? Not that you necessarily have any plans or ever will, but life is so miserable that your mind just thinks about it all of the time. Please let me know your thoughts.

no, ispencer - but only because my mind does not drift toward "dead" when I am wishing for something to ease my suffering.

I wish for Change, or Craziness, or Anything, but that's likely the only difference.

towritegina, that is very well said, That is a lot of the discussion in my podcast. I think some people understand how people would think of it and a lot of people think about it but it is not really an option. There are a ton of people though that the depression that goes with the pain really pushes their thought process.

I always wish I was dead!!! Even when I'm happy!!!

I think it only stands to reason that not everyone is cut out for life. I think I'm one of those ones!!! It's nice, sometimes, but I could just as well do without!!!

I think what I wish sometimes is how can I want to live... how can I live.. how can things get better more then I want to be dead....

I think the response about not being cut out to live is fascinating. I agree on some level with that. We will all certainly die. Nature has no mercy. I believe in positive action and the affirmation of life. However in the end we all are made to die. Not all of us are built to suffer however and honestly, I long for death some days. But as long as I am alive I am going to do everything I can to help others. Rambling Chronic in itunes if you don't believe me. I chose to live and be happy ans help others be happy, in spite of my pain.

    Woke up feeling very emotional and about to clock in at my place of employment. And can't place it all in writing but not been a good experience with my store manager or his boss. Defamation of my character is a concern. I've been losing appetite and weight. Trying to perform at work to keep myself from hospitalization as a result of toxic masculinity.
