If you could go to sleep today and never wake up again would you be OK with that?

Just that really. Curious to know how many people feel this way. I'm not about to do myself harm, I just feel like I wouldn't be scared or sad.

Yes, but for different reasons. I've had a good life, been to all the places I wanted to go, loved and was loved, so if I died tomorrow that would be ok.
I don't want a painful death. So if I was ill I'd rather just pop a pill and drift off.

I'm not bothered either way really, indifferent

Lost my husband suddenly 4 years ago after nearly 30 years together, left me and his two sons apart from them and my parents I'm not bothered if I'm here or not

Yes, definitely.

@GalaPie

No. Because however much that might appeal as an end to whatever I disliked about my existence, my near-sixty years on this earth have taught me that this life spins on a sixpence, that things can change in the blink of an eye, turn a different corner, read a different book, talk to a different person, or just walk in the opposite direction and everything changes. So I shall keep on going till this old body gives up on me, not my mind. As a wise person once said "This time next year, we'll all be millionaires".

Yes. I'd be fine with it. I'm only here for the lives that rely on me to be.

However, I'm going to reread this post often as I want to feel this way.

No, because I have a DC. But many years ago, I was battling serious depression and I think if I'd have been asked this question back then, the answer would have been a strong Yes. In light of that fact, perhaps seek some help or counselling in regards to your feeling this way. It doesn't sound like you're actually suicidal but it does sound like you may have lost interest in life/living in general. Which is obviously concerning. Best of luck OP x

@GalaPie, I love your post. Thank you. You are so right. When DH died my life completely fell apart in an instant - but there's nothing to say that it might change for the better just as quickly.

No, I wouldn't that at all, but I have often wished I could go to sleep for a very long time and wake to find my life had got just a little easier. wry smile

OP and others on the thread who are struggling, please do seek help if you need it. Depression is tough and we can't always fight it alone.

^ wouldn't want that at all, I meant

This appeals to me a little bit yes. I find it hard to find joy in my life. I am constantly lamenting the wrong turns I took in life and, although I still have hope for the future, I also know there is so much pain and misery to come too. A peaceful end through sleep sounds tempting. But in reality, no. I wouldnt want to miss out on seeing my children's children.

I wish I could give everyone on this thread a big hug ❤️

I'd be delighted, if it was just me.
But then I think about my kids and parents.

Yes, i wouldnt seek it, but a lifetime of lonliness means i wouldnt miss it.

Yes, every day for my entire life

Yes I would be absolutely thrilled. But it never happens. I’m too useless even to catch Covid.

No my children need me. Sorry you feel this way op.

Yes. I’m so down and fed up with everything. I feel so alone right now and wish I wasn’t here.
