Is it normal to feel (normal) suicidal thoughts?

6 Comments

I live an easy/lucky life. Yet sometimes, when things don't go my way, I feel like I really wouldn't mind dying right then and there-- like I genuinely wouldn't mind pressing a button to end my life as long as it didn't involve pain. It happens pretty often. I feel immediately bad afterwards when I remember I'm already so fortunate. Do these feelings happen often for others?

    I'm gonna be honest, theres a difference between wanting to die and "not wanting to be in this situation rn". quite a few people who have a dark sense of humour tend to think "Ima kill myself because I don't wanna do my dishes". I used to do those jokes until one day I actually wanted to die. It's a much scarier feeling. But the fact that your thinking "i want to die" instead of "i don't want to be here" or "i don't want to do this" is concerning. Please get some form of help.

    So tell me, do you experience anxiety in addition to the depression with which you are already afflicted?

      Was that a cheeky way of telling me I'm depressed? Because I really don't think I am-- nor do I suffer anxiety, I think.

        So then what's with the suicidal stuff?

        Depression, and anxiety don't have to appear as severe, and dramatic as in the movies to seriously affect your life.

    It's normal in the sense that you are not alone. However, it is not healthy and you should seek help.
