Have you ever fantasized about attempting suicide/dying and being the hero?

[LeAnn Marcum]

 In one of my fantasies I dreamed about stabbing myself with a knife in my stomach so that my dad (the bad guy) would be sent to prison for life and wouldn't hurt me or my family anymore. I really thought that it would happen and one time I saw a knife in our utility room, and brought it up to my stomach and sort of poked myself with it and imagining how it would feel. Has any of your fantasies been this dangerous?

Oh yes. The majority of my daydreams involve murder or suicide, mostly suicide. The way I'd do it and then how would people react.

Yes a lot of mine ponder the idea of suicide and how people would react, what kind of things I would want at my funeral etc. I sometimes think about hurting other people, usually somebody who has annoyed me in the past. Sometime's it's killing them, sometimes it's torturing them. It can get heavily sadistic. It's never prompted me to attempt such acts in real life as I'm usually pretty gentle and relaxed but my daydream allows me to release such emotion in a very brutal way.
I wouldn't say it's in any way heroic. I don't think about doing it in order to save other people but then again I've never had an experience in my life that would warrant such daydreams. It's more of a way of getting violence and aggression out without actually committing such acts.

It happens from time to time. Most of my character's deaths/near death experiences are accidents or homicides, but several of them had been clinically depressed and suicidal in their childhood. Either because of their family problems or external factors. One of the most abused (by myself) characters lost both parents in an accident and lived as a child with the last living family member. Then became a victim of a serial killer, barely survived the incident, and attempted suicide twice later on.
