Is it normal to think about killing myself

67% Normal
7 Comments

Sometimes I feel like I can't do anything right. Like I failed and wish I could start all over again. And sometimes those feelings are intense so then I start to think that maybe I should kill myself but I'm too afraid to do it.

I don't think about this all the time. Sometimes I'll go a year without thinking about it.

Is this normal or do I need help

    This is normal. There is always things ur gonna fail at cuz no one is perfect. I think wen times get tuff everyone thinks about ending it. But remember most ppl that get help are glad they didn't kill themselves. Life is a precious thing. Have fun and live ur life. If u need to talk to someone I'm always available at h03facs (0 is a zero) on aim ;)

    It's 100% normal----

    I am telling you.
    I am a psychologist, And I have 2 teenagers.
    The happiest and the saddest of us have suicide thoughts. It's just those random things that play with our minds. We all get down some at times. Nothing to take so harshly unless the thoughts are frequent. If they are, try to get out of your atmosphere..This contributes greatly. It is a good sign that you seldomly have such thoughts and a great sign that you are TOO SCARED to attempt such drastic measures, meaning you really don't intend it.
    Perception is reality, suicide isn't the way to end issues, and never take the easy way out! It is selfish and wrong.

    Agreed with brinkley, although it may be normal to have those thoughts because of failure, it's always better to find some professional help rather than risking the chance of great depression with those who care about you

    I feel the same way. I often want to kill myself but know that I would never do it. Deep down I know that I want to live and don't want to kill myself. However, when I'm feeling low or lonely and I don't understand what the point in me continuing my education and life is, I do think about it. I'm still in college so if I ever were to do such a thing, I would definitely wait at least another 15 years or so. I want to give myself the chance to be successful and make something of myself and experience the real world as an adult.

    You need help. You want to take the selfish and easy way out. The pain of losing someone is a pain I would never wish on anyone. Please don't cause anyone that pain. Life really isn't that bad.
