Does everyone spend half their life wishing it was over?

No. You should probably talk to someone if you wish it was over.

Nope...too many things still to do and enjoy

No, that's a strange wish to have long-term, tbh.

Thanks for all the responses. From the hopeful, the life lovers, to those who are just holding on.

Just as a comment of reassurance/clarification. Though I do suffer with the thoughts and feelings of wanting this life to be over, they are just visitors who I learn to tolerate. And whilst not many of my days bring much light. I would not end my life prematurely, as I am a mother, daughter, sister, perhaps even friend.

And though I feel mostly invisible.

I could never cause such devastation to others by ending my life.

I do not want to be the cause of pain to others, when I know how hard that pain is.

So I’m safe. And I will keep on.

It is just hard and lonely and lost.

Keep up your good fights, or living your best lives, one and all x

50-50 🤔

Not everyone… but I think anyone who truly can step back and look at it all (and MOST of all THEMSELVES) will feel this way at one point or another

Sometimes when i feel like everything is against me and thinking what is the purpose of my life here on earth when I die nothing will actually change everything.

I think there's a difference between being stressed and actually wishing your life to be end.

For instance, I have negative thoughts that consume me when I'm feeling down, but I catch myself and think "No, I don't want to die. No, I don't hate myself." Negative thoughts can be powerful, so I try to correct myself. Anyway, even when those thoughts run through my mind, I don't think it's the same as truly wanting to end things. If you're serious about wanting things to be over, you should speak to an actual professional. I'm definitely not judging by the way.

I want to be immortal. :/

I don’t truly wish it but life is an intense burden alone without all the extra struggles.

Over ? No. Different ? Oh hell yeah.

I have my moments

Nope, it may be upside down, turned around, cooked over easy, drunken in spades, or a puritan looking for the clean energies act; but I want to live it. It's all you have, why hold back now?

Not at all.
Only the ones who feel life has become too painful to bear.
In general, it's not a helpful way to think; it has the effect of making the pain worse.

Not all of us.

I have so many successful friends who doesn't seems to have any emotions.

No I wish I could repeat my life from teens or early 20's.

No, not even one minute. Have you ever tried counseling. 🙂

No. If you do then you probably need to see a counsellor/doctor.

No. it was pretty dicey there for a wile but not so much now.

I did then I changed it and have a new life.

Of course not, unless u have a chronic illness...

Not me, I'm in it for the long haul

No, everyone does not.

Not like I used to

Not really not

Some of us do

Nope

I do

I do

Not me i wish for more time

Yep, green with envy for the most part.

Not everyone. But sadly, many people.
