Is it normal to think of suicide everyday?

I think of it everyday now. I always feel like my family would be better off without me.. I have no friends to talk to and life just seems pointless.

    I’m no expert. But you’re probably wrong about people being better off. 🤷🏾‍♀️

    It makes me feel sad whenever I hear self harm, please talk to someone about this but you have a therapist to help you guide you.

    It's not good but it's normal in the sense that this is thought about more than people think. I suggest getting some help. It would be better to get help and learn you still want to, having wasted little time, than to do it and never get the chance to even regret it when you would have, having wasted your entire life which might have been about to get amazing right around the corner.

    I used to have no friends too. I have a few now. Having no friends sucks. Do you have issues talking to people? Being part of an online forum could help. Lots of people online are lonely and would love to chat with someone else. Maybe you can find something you're interested in like a hobby or fandom and then join a forum about that. Or maybe just go on social media and make a blog or something. I found plenty of really nice people through being on social media. It makes it a lot easier to put yourself out there. Don't be too hard on yourself. It's tough. I know. But it will get better. This is your life and you deserve to have it be enjoyable. I was debating whether or not to jump in front of a car today. I ended up buying myself ice cream and fizzy wine and then I took a nap. Now I'm just having fun browsing online and I'm kind of studying while doing so. Give yourself a break and remember that you ARE worth it no matter what anybody says. I've wanted to kill myself for about 10 years now and I'm obviously still struggling but just remember: You don't owe anything to anybody. You are here to make yourself happy. You don't have to be the cut-out- glamorized version most people pretend to be. It's usually the ones that suffered the most that end up doing great things. :)

    I have the same thoughts. You're not alone. Most people that suffer from this kind of thing were hurt a lot by others. I think you probably have a lot of potential. I know I do, but I still get this feeling of being not good enough and a burden. For me having a bit of "me time" and self care helps me to feel better. Treat yourself well because you absolutely deserve it. This world is so fucked up but at least there are people like you that can be real about their feelings. Even if it's on an online post. I really admire that for some reason. Maybe try to find a therapist. I talk to one. It just helps me to have someone I can talk to for a bit and get things off my chest. I don't know if it's helped me with my general mood but I think things would be far worse for me if I had to keep it all inside all the time.

    There are many sites where you can get help and people to talk to. Research them. Sometimes it's easier to talk to strangers about personal stuff. Do it! Most of us have been there when you feel that you no longer belong to places and that you do not mean anything. I've been there!

    Coming from someone who’s been diagnosed with a whole slough of mental disorders, I can tell you that thinking about suicide everyday is not normal. It’s only normal in cases like mine, where there is a chemical imbalance in my brain, which requires medication to correct. Even then, it’s not normal but rather, a common occurrence I have to deal with. I’ve self-harmed, attempted suicide and been placed on life support. I can tell you, there are people out there that care about you. I don’t know you and I can tell you, I care. Please consider seeking help. These thoughts, if occurring daily, won’t go away on their own. It’a perfectly okay to ask for help and to need help. I have PTSD, I’m Bipolar I with Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as Major Depressive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. So I speak from experience. If you ever want to talk, please PM me, even if you just need someone to vent to, for someone to listen and not judge. How can I judge when I don’t know you? There’s also the Suicide Hotline. They’ve helped me on more than one occasion.

    You don’t have to keep struggling alone, in silence. You don’t have to keep feeling this way. There’s resources out there that can and will help you through this! I promise!

    Absolutely not. See a therapist ASAP, and when you get the urge call the suicide hotline posted above.

    I am a parent, and I think even if your child becomes a cold blooded murderer, you still would not genuinely feel that you were better off if they killed themselves. I don't think any mentally stable parent is capable of feeling that way. It's just not how humans are wired.
