I sometimes wish I wouldn't wake up.
That feeling is called “passive suicidal thought.” While it may be fleeting for some, it can also be the first stop on the ramp down in the valley of suicide. It’s usually a good indicator that something is wrong, and you’re feeling overwhelmed. Don’t isolate yourself. Find someone you can talk to about why you’re feeling so down. That person may be a friend or loved one, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, a minister, a psychologist or therapist. Not isolating yourself is a key first step. In addition to reaching out to someone, if you’re inclined to read a self help book, here are some that we recommend.
