Is it normal to have fantasys of your own death?

My first memory of it was when I was in year 1, I was on holiday at the time, and I started to wonder what happened after death, and how I could kill myself. Over the years I came to believe that there was no life after death, and still cintinued these thoughts, which can only be described as fantasys, of how I would kill myself, themes would occur, and the same scenarios would be played over and over in my mind. Now I have no intentions to die, in fact, I really don't want to, I love my life a lot of the time. So... Please tell me IIN, and can I stop it?

    If you're picked at school shoot your bullies first. I regret I didn't had a gun when I was in high school because after years of being a victim of bullying I've never been able to achieve much in life and will probably end up killing myself anyway. I should have shot them and then me. I totally condone columbine and cal tech. Until they're able to stop bullies, spare their victims high school or find whatever solution these actions are a necessary evil.

    I often want to commit suicide, just for the after math, not just because im depressed (which I am). I always thought it would be fun to put a gun barrel in my mouth, and feel the wonderful feeling of a bullet passing through my brain... It would probably feel all tingly, maby a sharp pain. Then my blood splatters all over the place, making a bloody mess. :) Then everyone at school is all like "Oh i wish i didn't pick on him LOL"

    I either have had fantasies of suicide, or just normal death. Like...car accidents, plane crash, OD, somehow hitting my head, being hit by a car, falling, slipping/tripping, someone else killing me, or some animal, or dying of some disease.
    YUP. I've imagined it all xD
    I think it's pretty normal, but I could be horribly wrong.

    Me too. I regularly imagine a rope comiing out of thin air, wrapping itself around my neck a couple of times with the end trailing loose then snapping so taught that it breaks my neck. Even when i don't conjure up such mental imagery i always have that underlying feeling of wishing i wasn't alive and often think that if it wasn't for my wonderful pet dog i probably would not be. But hey thats severe depression for you.
