Is it normal to imagine myself dying in a graphic way?

I've never really talked to anyone about this so I don't know if there is something wrong with me or not, but a few times a day, if I think about something that I regret from my past, something that I have to do, something about myself that I dislike or if I'm extremely bored, I imagine smashing my head against something and dying in a gruesome way. I kind of see myself die and as unsettling as it is, its also strangely calming. I would never do this, but the urge is still there

    Sounds a bit suicidal. You may want to see a therapist about it.

    I do that when I'm bored a lot. Like I imagine going out of my fourth story window and debating the circumstances that would have to be for me to actually die or just break my limbs or something. Or i imagine falling down the stairs face first with no restraints and how the bottom of the stairs would look after. I think it's just curiousity, because I don't really /want/ to do those things. I knew a guy when we were kids who would cut and mutate himself simply out of curiousity, and he's fine of course, he was just curious about the human body/possibilities that could happen to ourselves.

    You should really see a therapist.

    I used to that when I was suicidally depressed.

    I can relate to this actually, it seems to stem because i don't have friends nor never had any long lasting friendships so I've been a lot of time alone and bored. There be times when I think of myself dying or intentionally doing something to myself that would cause me to die, but would never ever act on theses ideas, thoughts, curiosity or imagination of doing it.

    Ive always seeked attention now that look back a few years, (Keep in mind I'm only 21) There would be times where I would act different to people, show off, be mean, act tuff, pick verbal fights, pick on people, and ext.

    So thinking about doing some harm to myself is just mean looking for attention so that people would notice or see that, "Hey I'm still here" or just a yell for help or someone.

    I would deff recommend either getting help like a counselor, or my favorite free option thats totally private is calling a hotline number where you can talk to a courser or another person, there tones of theses out there my favorite is, "The Hopeline" (Thehopeline.com)
    Call TheHopeLine: 1-800-394-4673 (HOPE)

    Talking to someone who has been through stuff and is older or just as young as you are is deff a help, I've learned a lot from talking to free helpful people on the phone, i felt more comfortable and plus i didn't have the money to really go see a counselor at the time, but it wasn't any different. Its faith based so thats a plus, and great if you like that as well, i would encourage you to give it a call and talk to someone, theres no limit to how long you can talk, so no rush!

    Take care,
    Eric

    PS: people care, like me, or i wouldn't have taken the time out of my time to type this book length advice! Hopefully everything is good, take care
