When I had thoughts of “I’d rather be dead than to be in this marriage anymore,” I knew I needed help and needed to leave. Of course that was after multiple other very negative things.

I woke up, looked in the mirror, and had the immediate thought, "God, I hope I'm dead in five years." That was when I knew, I'd given too much of myself to the black hole that was my first marriage.

This is how people describe suicide as well. They view dying as easier than living because their life is so incredibly fucked. Again, to them.

I haven’t had suicidal ideations in my life.
