Is it normal that i welcome death?

Lately, I've had intervals when I've been gravely sad - I don't know if it is depression, although it certainly feels like it at times. Because of all the pain and trauma I've experienced, I've came to the realization that I welcome my own death, as in I don't really care if I die. In a way, it feels like it would be a huge relief because right now, things just seem to get worse and worse with no end in sight, and death and depression seems like a state where I will feel comfortable and have escaped from all the worry. I don't think I'll go thru with doing anything of the sort, but it feels desirable and an appropriate way to go, i'm not sure. Any advice and help would be useful :)

    You may welcome death, but I welcome adoration because ☆I'm☆A☆Star☆.

    My advice: seek professional counseling right away. You need it. I have been there and I know what it's like. Consider going on a long trip... Like a week, and far away. If you need to end negative influences on your life, out an end. Walk away... at least temporarily.

    It's normal. I've gone through times like this, but when death actually DOES present itself, you'll be glad to be alive.

    Back to the original topic, yes, it's normal if you are going through a prolonged bad time to want to die. At least for me it is. But most users on here don't feel this way and they won't be helpful to you about it. Hope things improve for you. Sometimes they tend to do so in time.

    I don't really know any advice to give you. I've been struggling with depression for a long time, and I still haven't found the answer. I thought I would at least let you know that you aren't alone, and that I really wish the best for you. I've wanted to commit suicide so many times, but I was too afraid, and I didn't want to hurt my family. Depression is a bitch, and it always feels permanent, but you have to keep going to get through it. I'm sorry that a fellow human has to go through what you're going through. Again, I wish you the best.

    I'm 44 years old now. happily married. Sad all of the time even though I don't deserve the people around me. Would be even sadder if I wasn't married. My desire to die coming true would destroy the people around me. I'm successful and people depend on me. I think my state of mind is normal for me...but not everyone. It's like some people prefer savory and other sweet. Our brains all work differently. Our brain is an organ just like a colon. Dont let our shit interfere with the good things in life. We deal with it....that's what we do. Smile...others will notice from the outside.

    Don't worry it's normal for those of us with depression, I often find myself longing for the time I will enter my grave.

    death is a terrifying thing that everyone must face. (fucking obvious fact, you're welcome) and when you make a joke about wanting to die, or how death is inevitable anyway, it always makes someone uncomfortable, and that's usually a person who fears death. but fearing life more than death itself is not admitting defeat. welcoming it is like existing as someone different. you're silently sitting and waiting and hoping and not talking in case you miss the chance to get in the way of some freak accident and die. or just wandering until something happens. my point is, its normal. but when you think about it, it really is scary. the want and desire to let go of everything you have owned or love is overwhelming and strange and never feels quite real. in a way, emotions are never actually real. they're just created by your brain. maybe your desire for death doesn't actually exist. fuck, whatever I'm trying to say is that once you live with the openness towards your own death, you are no longer who you once were, you never will be, and life doesn't welcome you like you used to welcome it. so maybe it isn't normal . it's not normal to be the odd one out in the only thing you've got; you're own life. but hey, what the fuck really is normal in this insane world that's full of things and concepts that no one is able to truly and fully grasp
