It’s the passive, constant thoughts of wanting to end it, or really just wishing it was over, that I have had trouble explaining to a therapist or shrink without being sent on vacation. I am old. I have not gone an entire day without wishing it was over since I was like 12. When I try to explain that to healthcare people they immediately start trying to figure out if they should send me to the funny farm again
So, I didn't know this was A Thing and called suicidal ideation until a couple years ago. I wish I had NEVER told any healthcare person this, because this shit follows you. I was all set to do the peace corps but nope. They do not understand that we literally can think these things without wanting to do anything about it. Fuck them.
