Is there a specific term for wanting to end your life but not die? - eviltoast

As in, wanting to cease living your current life and not have any more responsibilities or problems, and essentially end your session as a living human being, but without actually dying?

    For anyone in the US who needs it, the Suicide Prevention Hotline can be reached by call or text at 988. You don’t have to be having active suicidal ideation to call them. Passive suicidal ideation is often a warning sign or an attempt at coping when life is too much, and they can get you connected with resources near you.

    There are also Warmlines available in most states, which are for when you need someone to talk to, but may have passive suicidal ideation (rather than active), just want to get some things off your chest, or just want to talk to another human being for a while.

      Thank you for actually mentioning the existence of warmlines. They are not commonly mentioned for people. There are also specific resources and call lines for an individual depending on their history, such as for those who require ASL or those who are trans.
