Not right now, but I did..
If this is really how you feel please call someone, get some counseling or what ever you can.. The fact that you are reaching out here is a good sign.
I have struggled on and off for many years with these kinds of thoughts and when things get really bad, my mind always goes there.
You are worth so much more, and it will leave pain and confusion for the ones you leave behind.
Please get help keep posting .. ((((((((HUGS))))))))

I think it is far more common then admitted. I know personally when my wife first left me, I almost did 2 times in the first 3 weeks. Like stupid said, reach out and find someone to talk to. I had my mother to reach out to thankfully, and she has been a godsend in my recovery process. Family or close friends are best if you close to anyone like that, and counseling can also be helpful. I hope you feel better phoenix, and that the thoughts start to fade.

I think many people struggle with that, especially in those first couple weeks or if the breakup comes as a total surprise to you. I can tell you that you can work through those thoughts. I know I have.

Please reach out to someone if you have not- just to talk if nothing else. Find a counselor, talk to a family member or friend, come to this site or one of the really good depression sites out there.

Take care!

Phoenix, it's very common. I've thought it before and have thought it again within the past 24 hours. Stay strong, and like everyone has said, find someone to talk to if you need help with getting past such thoughts.

The thought passed through my mind on occasion right after she left. It hurt so much and I didn't want to go through this, and it was a thought. But I have a little girl who needs a daddy so I quickly swept it away.

When I was single and had bad breakups I'd think it too. But the memory that every time things eventually got better was enough to know that it was just a phase in my life, and that I would be happy again and look back and laugh at the thought.

I absolutely felt that way at one point and time. Not only thought about it, but thought about how to do it. But then I realized that is the "easy" way out and not fair to my kids at all and he's not worth it. You really need to find a good support system, a close friend, family member and/or counselor. The pain does get better with time though at the time it feels like it won't. sending hugs....

Yea, I have thought about it a few times. If it is possible, I did it in a "rational" way though. As if any thoughts like that can be rational. I thought not just about the pain I am going through but considered the repercussions also. They pain and loss felt by those few that care about me would have to live with. What would happen to my pets. Stuff like that.........But the biggest thing was a conversation I had with my daughter one day a few years ago. We were riding in the car and something came up about suicide. I don't know if something came across the radio or she was reading something but the conversation came up. I explained that things in life can happen that can put you in a VERY DARK place.

I said "Sweetheart you have laughed and smiled and experienced joy in your life. No matter what happens from here, no matter how sad or lost or lonely you feel at any point in your life you have to know that you can and will feels that joy again no matter how bleak this may look at the time.".

Funny me posting this when I feel so lost right now. So afraid of being alone for the rest of my life. I may never get what I am looking for but I know things will get better for me somehow...... It will for you also.

Sometimes I think of that but the thought of the OW moving into my house with my stbx changes my mind.

I have felt it often since traumatic divorce initiated as a surprise in 08, and more suicidal when I was on lexapro than after.
I find if someone can allow me to talk the impulse through without threatening me with legal action ('for my own good") that I m relieved (for a time) of the hopeless feeling that I will always feel broken and alone. Horrible feeling that.

Most people who consider suicide are jut in that much pain. This is not about cowardice as some claim, Rather , it is about the limits of human endurance.
Hang on.

Wow, I guess you're not alone, huh? I've thought about it, too. There are a few people on this planet who still need me, and I have an important project that is meaningful to me. That's what keeps me going.
I know it's hard and it hurts so much, but hang in there. It will get better eventually. It will for ALL of us.
