Is it normal thoughts "escalate" quickly?

I will go from thinking "This physics problem is hard and I'm having trouble with it" to "I guess I'll just kill myself because I'm stupid." My thoughts escalate like this in a matter of seconds. I wouldn't actually commit suicide because of something dumb like a physics class but I still think like this. Normal?

    Sounds like anxiety or maybe depression. Not normal, but not uncommon and it can be helped.
