Hi, orenishii, welcome to Psych Central!

It sounds to me as if you feel more than one way about it. So far some of your self-talk has been about wanting to die. It's worth noting, though, that your actions have been about keeping you around -- and both are you.

I used to think I needed to make what I was doing fit with what I was saying, or I'd be in some kind of trouble. I'm finding it works much better (for me, at least) to pay attention to what I am doing and use that as a guide to what I "should" be doing. As I put it some years ago:
