Sometimes you don't have to be proactively seeking death to long for it.

Definitely true, my psychiatrist called it passive suicidal tendencies. I've had that since I was very small, and even at my "happiest" it's always been there.
I don't understand life, it's a big book I just don't get. It all seems like too much trouble.

I'm sorry you can relate. It seems baffling to most people I know. And at those happy times, I *was* happy, I really was, I guess I just knew they wouldn't last and so still didn't understand all the fuss..I really can't decipher it.
I don't know..

I know it too in another way I think. I think where has the time gone and I can never have that time back and I'm old and that's depressing and triggers those thoughts. Love Phillipa

I think of the fact that only now am i
getting the empathy and support i should have got
back when i was 17-18 and first getting ill.
It's nice to get it but the damage has been done
and there's nothing left but maintaining the resultant level of sub existence.I don't serve any worthwhile purpose.

I have nothing against it in principle.
'Sometimes you don't have to be proactively seeking death to long for it'
IMO lots of people feel like this. I don't mean that your life should be miserable and you should long to die exactly, but just like sleep follows conciousness, death should follow life. Simply because it is neccessary.
Some people don't like to talk about this though. You'd all be aware of what passes for interpersonal relations in some necks of the wood.
