Is it okay to think about dying?
I feel like crap. I feel that I have lost control of my life and that I am a disappointment. Sometimes I feel like dying and I think about it. I think about what it would be like to die, how it would feel. I know that I will not act upon these thoughts. I wouldn't consider myself suicidal because I do not think about killing myself. However, I do not know if it is okay to simply think about dying. It's just that the idea of death appeases me and knowing that I will one day die brings me peace. Please help me figure out whether thinking this way is wrong.

It's sometimes called a "passive deathwish" and it's enough to merit concern. It may be a good idea to talk to a counselor or therapist just to sort out these feelings of disappointment, lack of control, etc. However, I don't necessarily believe that it's wrong to be comfortable with the idea of death or one's own mortality. It's only a concern in that you're relying on it to cope with distress.

No its not wrong, everyone feels like that sometimes. But you should try not to feel sad so often. I was really sad the other day when I read about ACTA but something as simple as viewing a young child smile on the bus made me feel rejuvenated. There is a lot of beauty in the world if you look.

Totally normal as long as you can control impulses. I think about it all the time but not how I would kill myself but how would my last moment in this world be. So I think its normal

All human beings think about dying at one time or other in their lives...it's perfectly normal whether people admit to it or not....but don't dwell on it....live your life in MOMENTS.....because within MOMENTS there can be a LIFETIME.....
