This is the end of me!

Oh, no! This is the end of me!
.. the end of the world!
... my end!
... my last day!

Hi,
Do all of the above sound idiomatic and mean about the same? Thanks.

No. The first one would be used for a personal difficulty, but the second (if ever actually uttered-- it is rather melodramatic) would be a greater tragedy. The last two are not idiomatic English.
