Ideation is okay to be discussed here as opposed to discussing future plans, or ways of accomplishing it or even discussing specific ways one may have tried in the past, those are not allowed per our Community Guidelines.

Others are right, many folks think about it at least one time in their lives. Sometimes life can be so overwhelming at a particular time that wanting out of it is where our brains go. We may be too tired to continue dealing with the issues or we may feel weak like we can't make it through them. And of course there are those who are depressed and thinking along those lines.

I was there myself many many years ago. Yes, I was a bit depressed, mostly just over my living situation and possible divorce etc. I actually verbalized my thoughts out loud to someone. It was more of a cry for help than it was what I wanted to do. I didn't want to die, I just didn't know how to ask for help I think.

Luckily, I do not have those thoughts anymore. But yeah, many of us have it now and again. It doesn't always mean that one will act on them though, just thoughts is all.
