Is it normal that i have non-serious suicidal thoughts?

Sometimes when I have a really bad day, or something like that, I have these thoughts of killing myself for just a few hours and then it goes away. But I'm kind of worried that this might be serious, even though I don't think I will ever actually kill myself. I experimented with cutting when I was younger, but I never tried anything serious, never attempted suicide. Should I get help?

    If you really don't want to consider therapy or professional help it doesn't seem completely urgently necessary but I think it would be a good idea to see someone, even just a couple of times and you can get a lot out of it

    Have you tried listening to music, try thinking about people that make life hard for you and how you will show them up when you are older, that's what I do

    Adults can usually handle the day to day adversity of life without falling into the depths of depression and thoughts of suicide. If you are young, at least you can look forward to growing up and not having these feelings any longer. If you are an adult, then you need to be a lot less emotional and grow up.
