Is it normal to think about dying?

I don't want to kill myself but when I sit around for too long/try to go to sleep I always have this intrusive thought of how refreshing it would be to just get shot in the spine and immediately not feel anything. I have anxiety and started medicine, and since it has gotten much less frequent. But I was just wondering if everyone thinks about dying daily? I know it isn't "normal" but is it common?

    i think about dying and sometimes even have urges to, but only in bad situations. i won't actually do it, because i have objectives like travelling the world. life does seem pointless sometimes, so many bad things happen and i wonder why i endure all of it if one trigger could just stop it all. maybe you and i are suicidal, i don't know but focus on your goals and dreams and see all of this is worth it.

      I am not worried about it because I know I am not going to do it but I think it would be interesting to know if this isn't normal and is actually considered suicidal. It would seem the urges have to be much stronger to be considered that

        indeed. maybe it isn't suicidal but you could have depression? it's actually pretty normal to think about death, i did a google search on this and i found that most people do think about death when something doesn't go their way or something unexpected and bad happens.
