I feel I can relate as I've often wished I've wanted to not be awake but not be asleep because of dreams. I think the suggestions of talking to someone are good.

I think facing problems can be really draining, and takes a lot of courage, but I feel it's really the only way to deal with things, to face them and deal with them.

I think to appreciate dreamless sleep, or unconsciousness you'd have to be able to notice that you were unconscious or that you weren't dreaming, which I'm not sure is possible (but please correct me if I'm wrong). I think to notice things you have to have some sort of conscious awareness, I'm assuming you wouldn't have that if you were in a coma. As mentioned above overdosing is dangerous, there's a real risk of death or if it doesn't end your life then organ damage.

I think it'd be wise to talk to someone, if you're in regular contact with a doctor or therapist then talking to them would be good. Or a friend or relative who you'd feel comfortable talking to.
