Why is it so bad to want to die?

I know it sounds dark but, when you have nothing or no desire to to do anything or not anyone that wants anything to do with you. Why is is endless sleep and peace so bad?

People have this idea that they'll be happier dead. But you won't, you'll be nothing. Your entire everything ceases. I understand that life is hard for some, and mental illness can be difficult, downright devastating. But regardless there is always a solution. Outright refusing to be happy or to find a way out from the muck isn't nor should it be considered as a way out.
However, I strongly believe that the terminally ill should have euthanasia as an option, when you know there isn't a way out, and that your days are literally numbered, a person should be given the choice to go out on their terms.
From someone that went through the whole dying thing, beyond the acid trip there's nothing, no light, no voices, no dead friends or relatives waiting for you with loving outstretched arms, there's literally nothing. I'm lucky I was revived. Im lucky I got this second chance.
Romanticizing the idea of "better off dead" does more harm than good. In reality, people that say they want to die, don't really want to die, they just don't want to live in their current situation.
