If you had thoughts that you are ready to die or if you die at that moment for whatever reason it’s fine with you, what were those thoughts?

Things you saw, things happening somewhere which made you feel so content that if you die right then and there, you won’t have any regrets…

I would be upset that I never amounted to anything.

I think that no matter when I die, I will still have things I wanted to do or say. But overall I am content…I have had a good life. If I died right now, I ’ d

I had that moment about two hours ago.
It had to do with nature showing me something “I was dying to witness (again)”.
Right then and there I would have been content.
Still, I’m glad I’m still here.

After a bad teen break up, I remember passing a telephone poll and thinking how easy it would be to die and not be sad anymore. I got tunnel vision, then I remembered my mom and snapped out of it. Scared me real sober, and I grew up a little afterwards.

Caveat: I am NOT and expert, and this just MY opinion as every one else here has.

There were a few times in my life that in great moments of despair that I thought that it would be better that I was dead.

Thinking on it now many years later and where circumstances have changed to the positive, I realize that at those times I was feeling the lowest thoughts at that time, because of losing hope.

Also because I was feeling dead in the situation I erroneously thought that what should follow is actual death of my body too?

I also realized that my actions would impact others in a unexpected way and if in another life I would have to atone for that action, so it was best to struggle though the situation to find a solution other than ending my life.
A life is valuable and its loss impacts others for their life as well.

It was through suffering, whether mental or physical that I learned to get stronger in mind and body and also learned to become reliant and more confident in my own development to become more resilient in life’s ups and downs.

Thus and I am happy that I have more understanding of my experiences good or bad as that makes up who I am now.

I used to be a hypochondriac, In have already accepted death more times before the age of 30 than most will in their entire life. In the end that acceptance is what ultimately cured my hypochondriasis. Whenever it comes, I’m ok with it.

If it happened today my thoughts would be that I was able to have a lot of fun the last few years, and not work hard, and sleep when I wanted to, and had not suffered much pain in recent years. I’m very grateful for those things, and they would give me some peace if I suddenly knew I was about to die. It’s also why I don’t want a full time job, which is good and bad, because on my dying day I have a real risk of wishing I had accomplished more I guess.

20 years ago I thought I could really die from a medical treatment I was getting. It was one of the only times in my life I really felt like I could be dying, it was a pronounced feeling of doom. I wanted to get better, and I was desperate, and my thoughts were that I was afraid I would die, but not afraid of death, and accepted the risk, because I was so tired of suffering.
