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.
