Is it normal to think about killing yourself when having work problems?

Wherever I have problems at a job, I think about killing myself. I've been fired multiple times from jobs and had problems at every level of my education; I worry about ending up a loser. I've done well at some jobs, but I feel like I'm never quite good enough. Are these thoughts normal?

  • What is considered a loser anyways? The definition is completely unique to each person. I guess I stopped caring about success in the traditional sense. I guess people could say that I "dropped out" after reintegration .

    If all the jobs you have done end up making you feel suicidal then have you thought about completely revamping your life and doing something completely different? Whatever that may be is completely up to you.

    I feel they're not healthy but normal. It really depends on the intensity of the feelings and how long they last.

    It's not usual. It sounds like you have a mental health condition (many people do), such as depression, which is a common mental health condition. You need to go to your doctor and ask to be referred to a therapist of some sort, such as a counsellor, so they can help you.
