I don't do anything to myself to make sure I don't wake up, but I can't get away from thinking about being dead and wanting to give up... But now she has me wondering.. Does it count as suicidal if I don't have a plan? I think it does personally, but I honestly don't know if it actually does....
What you are referring to is suicidal ideation, which is thoughts or preoccupation with suicide. It's NOT the same thing as being suicidal. You're suicidal if you have a plan and intend on acting upon it.
