I used to want to die when I was about 12 years of age. But like you, I also didn't want to commit suicide, I didn't know how, and I didn't want my last action on Earth to be a selfish one. I often wished for some kind some mishap in my body that would simply stop it dead in it's tracks.
There's more content to this story, but let's just say that I learned to look further then the wall of my own mind. We're all going to die at some point, so why rush it? There might be suffering in between, but seriously, in terms of natural position on this planet, we have virtually pain free lives. That's not meant condescending, I'm very much part of that party too. For example; Most people go about their life without ever having to spend a night being soaking wet, that kind of fortune is unique to our species (and the ones we domesticate).
It wouldn't be life if there wasn't some kind of suffering at some point. We'd be colorless bags of meat just wasting our short existence away going through the motions.
