I was just listening to asmr (it sometimes helps with my insomnia) and on a whim decided to imagine it was some kind of death clinic instead. My body instantly relaxed and the only other thing I felt was a sense of longing. It's not a big deal or anything, but usually when I envision dying it causes something more than that in the past. Some basic human anxiety or uncertainty or something.

That little jolt felt like a sudden realization that things had been steadily getting worse- something I knew logically, but that I'd stopped being able to feel. The event is so small and unimportant and yet it's so easy to forget that the daily existence of this isn't necessarily everyone's experience. The emotional reminder that it's supposedly a big deal to other people throws me off when directly confronted with it. An "Oh" moment.

What small thing suddenly triggered a jolt out of that normalcy of wanting to die for you? Was it beneficial or did it hurt?

It's silly but...the bad ending from the game, Omori. I start to feel this euphoria/the suicidal ideation take over me.

I don't think that's silly. I've definitely played games, read books, watched media that had a huge impact on me. Some short term and others long term. They can all be really poignant forms of communication.

This may be a bit odd and different, but I had a dream a few years ago, where I woke up in a house filled with roommates that I had never seen or met before but they all knew me. They acted as if I had been on a really long vacation and were happy to see me again. It felt like home, even though everything was new to me. It felt so real and was incredibly vivid. It impacted me so much, that I woke up crying. Usually, I forget my dreams instantly, but I've never forgotten that.

Whenever I'm doing really bad, I daydream or take a nap and try to rebuild that place in my head. It really helps me forget about everything for a short while.

Those types of dreams are always really hard personally because they feel good, but waking up from them and wanting so desperately to go back is gutting. I'm glad that helps you.
