Wine is finebut whiskeys quicker: I want to die
I believe in an afterlfe. We are electro- biochemical beings and our "soul" exists after this hellish life(for the majority). I was fortunate enough to briefly encounter the other side and i truly believe it is there for all if they so will it. At this point I am willing to relinquish this biological life. Putting it bluntly...life on this fucking plane sucks....I'm outta here. Wheres the exit door and how hard is it to open it.

Life sucks sometimes. It can be painful, sad, unbearable, lonely, upsetting and hard. But you have to remember that life can be just the opposite.
Sometimes I go through periods in my life where I feel depressed, where I will feel like life is a curse and know matter what I do the pain will just come back. So whats the point of living? Well you will have to answer that for yourself, but for me it's those moments of accomplishment, joy, and love. Like when I had a hard time righting a paper and my teacher complimented me on it, or when I played with little kids who go on the most amazing adventures with there imagination, or when I'm really upset about something and a friend gives me a hug. If your life is so unbearable that you can't find something to live for, keep trying but keep your goals realistic. Don't give yourself more then you can chew.
As for the craving for "heaven" or the "afterlife" be careful what you do about it. I know the idea of living in a place like that can be appealing. The beauty, the calmness, the safety, the genteelness, or whatever other feeling you associate with it. But killing yourself or going insane trying to find it again is harmful, not only to yourself, but others. Like when someone dies, even if someone who had no friends or family, its like a chain affect, first your family, then your friends, then your neighbors, then anyone else that have even seen you or that knows your name will greave or be scared.
I hope that you find something to live for and find some way to fill that craving for the afterlife with something on earth. Maybe make a collection of things you like and look at them when you feel this way, go on an adventure, do something fun, find beauty that's around you, invite or make new friends, and/or talk to a therapist. Whatever it is, enjoy it. :)

Death is the end of consciousness. If you "encountered the other side", and came back, then you weren't actually dead; you were in a state near death where the brain begins to misfire and cause hallucinations. All of the classic symptoms of Near-Death Experiences - tunnel of light, euphoria, a sense of existing outside one's own body - have real, physiological causes in the brain, and can even be induced by applying minute electrical charges to certain key areas of the brain which also show a surge in activity in patients who are dying. It is all an illusion.
Death is timeless oblivion. We should all know this because we have all been there before. It is what we experienced before we were born. The Universe existed for a long time before you were born - do you remember what you were doing all that time? I certainly don't. There is no reason to think that this won't be exactly what you experience after death as well: complete nothingness.
If you really want to exit this life, then surely you know how. Anyone who lives near an active railroad track or a ten-story building has a quick and easy way out. But remember that the door only swings one way; once you're out, there's no getting back in. If you're right, and there is an afterlife, then you have no idea what you're really getting into; even if what you experienced really is a glimpse of the other side, it is not necessarily all of it. It would be like a newborn baby deciding that the entire universe must be a hospital room because that's all he experiences in the first five minutes. No matter how you slice it, you just don't have enough information to make the most critical and final decision of your life.
And if I'm right, and there is no afterlife at all, then you'll be throwing away absolutely everything you have and ever will have in exchange for... nothing.
