I have had this habit for as long as I can remember. I keep making up scenarios in my head of different ways of myself dying.be it the floor beneath me sinks,the building collapses,my house on fire. sometimes I imagine myself being trapped in one of them sometimes it involves someone else being the cause of my supposed death.only after reading online I don't think this is normal.it happens sometimes 5-8 times a day [including nights]

    Yeah, i used to get that too but it a symptom/it came with both anxiety & depression for me!

    So with that in mind, i gotta ask, are you comfortable and happy?

    Any issues with anxiety? This is the primary cause of such thoughts, especially if they do make you anxious (even if they dont, its still indicative of some problem, though the cause my lie in dissatisfaction with life to some extent and theres possiblities for more complex things too.)

    Its not normal, but can generally be reduced and fixed by improving overall happiness and dealing with stress correctly!

    [tw suicide] I've had those for a long time back in middle school. I don't want to worry you but it's most likely suicidal thoughts, so if you ever feel really bad or depressed or anything you should talk to a therapist. Suicidal thoughts are not always about you wishing you were dead, it can be making up scenarios about you being dead or how people will react to it. So yeah, hope it helps! Even tho it's been long this have been posted lmao

    It's normal , But that's too many times a day, I usually picture situations of how I die , mostly car accidents when I'm driving or going to sleep and never waking when I get fucked up. Your imagination is running wild , it could probably be that's there's something you have pent up that you need to deal with maybe stress, maybe self awareness ,and it's trying to act out in a situation (death) that has simple concept to you
    Life= beginning
    Death=End

    So you have a problem (life)
    And you need to solve it (death)
    You thinking about what kills you and the situation and people that kill you (problem/reaction)

    It's the frequency that I think is a bit abnormal.
    Most people probably play out "what if..?" scenarios in their minds. What if you died, what if a family member died, and you might imagine how it might happen and what happens afterwards.
    But I don't think it's usual to have them 5-8 times a day.
    With that in mind, unionclocks gave a great answer to think about.
