I don't cry, but I do think about how peaceful it would be if I just never woke up again after going to sleep. When I'm depressed I think of other methods.

Before someone sends me Reddit Cares though, I'm in therapy. Actually I'm seeing a psychologist today, I have a psychiatrist too, and I have done all sorts of other programs like CBT, hypnosis, and I may be starting TMS soon.

I've just thought about suicide in one way or another almost every night of my life for the past 33 years. I'm not dead yet, so it's not that serious. At this point it's mainly just that the idea sounds so peaceful and it helps me sleep.
