*TW* Not suicidal but fantasising about being dead

I know that sounds awful and I hope it isn't triggering for anyone, but it is how I feel at the moment. I also know it doesn't make any sense - if I was dead, I wouldn't know anything about it so how can I fantasise about being in a state that I would be unaware of? Despite that, I wish all the time that I could just quietly die. I'm so tired of getting up every day, making an effort to go about my business and appear normal, feeding myself, going back to bed, and repeating the whole thing over and over again. I have no actual suicidal ideation or any plans or anything like that. I just think about illnesses and accidents and having it sort of happen without any input from me. Is this something other people can identify with?

Hello to those on here who are struggling - we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.

We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources: www.mumsnet.com/webguide/mental-health. You can also go to the Samaritans website: www.samaritans.org or email them on [email protected].

Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.

We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.

Best wishes from MNHQ
