Dying to live?

I know that this title has already been taken, but it inspired me.

Excuse me for steering a little away from philosophy, but a bit of personal input won't hurt I don't think.

think about the phrase: 'I'd die for one of those' when reading this.

What I mean by living to die is not physically dying, but emotionally. Wanting something so much that you don't concentrate on what's right infront of you, dreaming so much that you forget to live. It may be hard to get your head around but I want some conversations started lol. What are your ideas? Have you had any experiences that makes you feel dead inside? (sounds emo but Im totally not) Have you ever wanted soemthing so bad you wished you weren't yourself?
  • Here and there...
    I try to keep emotions at a minimum when it comes to life in general. But nevertheless, it has happened before. I constantly desire a life with no boundaries, but I found out later in life that that either takes money, Society won't allow such fancies, or your living in a fictional story. It's kind of depressing to find out that your life will be confined in many ways, by many entities, whether physical or social-wise, so that you may not truly live out your desires.

  • Becoming numb
    For myself, being dead emotionally means being numb. Not feeling anything positive, never feeling anything strongly.
    Depression can trigger this, I have had (and still suffer) clinical depression and I know how one can feel 'dead inside'. Not physically dead, but might as well be for the lack of emotion.
    Wanting so much to feel something, anything...and causing physical pain to know your alive.
    I don't know if i have grasped the concept of the question, but thats my two cents.
